The Saddle Creek Garden Club has
been working for some time on fundraising,
through their Garden Tours and funding through the student
body, donations of time, expertise and materials to
rid the front of Copperopolis Elementary School of their
thorny patch of ground where the children wait for the bus
daily. After sterilizing the ground, to rid the ground of
unwanted goatheads, and lining up all the materials, including ~180 plants, the Garden
Club is finally "going to be able to implement our Signature
Project at Copper School - the planting at the Bus Drop-Off
area, also known as 'The Slope' " says Bonnie Schaefer, Project Chair.
The project date is Saturday, March
23, starting at 9:00 a.m. and, if all goes well, the last
plant will go in the ground by 3:00 p.m.
The group hopes to have volunteers from the school, Copper
Canyon Church and the Garden Club. If you would like to
volunteer on this day please show up with your gloves, a shovel and a bucket (all labeled),
your smile and your willingness to beautify our school.
