The starting time is listed as 8:00. The school is on Brick Church Pike north of town. You can take Trinity Lane west to BCP or come south from Briley Pkwy near I24. I stopped by there yesterday. They have a nice inner courtyard that needs weeding and more plants. The outside has several dead trees from the lack of rain. The school grounds are very dry. They have a few plants. I plan to bring garden flowers for the courtyard and a few trees to replace some of what died. If you have extras or can split something from your garden, I’m sure it would be appreciated. There are a number of other cleanup needs as suggested above. It’s a nice school and will be even better with your help.
