John Muir Campus Cleanup


JME Cleanup Day Pics!




I want to personally thank everyone who came to the John Muir Elementary Campus today to work together to beautify and clean up our campus this morning.  The Mormon Helping Hands team, under the guidance of Wes Brinkman, Maynard Christenson and Troy Williams, and the PTA under the guidance of Wendy Dexter, have created a beautiful campus, all ready for our last days of school together for the 2011-2012 year.  You will notice cleaned and weeded garden beds by the amphitheater, cleaned beds in all areas of the campus, new plants and trees offering color and lasting shade, and a great deal of litter covering the playground is now gone!  Thank you to all for your hard work and positive spirit to beautify our school campus.
