Beautification Day
Darby Beautification Day 2024!
Help us beautify the Friendship Garden! We need volunteers to help garden and finish painting a mural!
Join us!
Saturday, April 27th 2024
8:30 am - 12:00 pm
Location: “Friendship Garden” on the Darby Ave. side of the campus, immediately south of the TK classrooms
Items needed
25-35 adult volunteers, kids welcomed
Water and Light Refreshments
For the garden Bring your tools! We need:
Weed pulling tools

Work gloves
Planting soil
Wild-flower seed or ready-to-plant low-maintenance flowers
Outdoor benches if possible
Wood chip to cover 40 feet by 1 foot
For the Mural
Paint to finish mural
Paint brushes
Tarp
The Plan..
This year's Beautification Day will focus on the Friendship Garden located on the Darby Ave. side of the campus, immediately south of the TK classrooms. The garden is approximately 34 feet wide by 40 feet long and is overgrown with weeds. There is a 32-foot-wide unfinished mural that needs to be finished and there are (5) 24-inch by 24-inch planter boxes that need fresh soil and plants.
The rest of the garden must have the weeds pulled up and overgrown bushes removed. There are 2 small concrete benches but it would be great to be able to add more outdoor seating so that students can use that space.
Join other families and help beautify our school.
Please contact us if you can help or for additional info at DarbyAvenueElementaryPTA@gmail.com.
