What a nice surprise! Beautiful flowers in doorway planters!Last week a generous benefactor provided four new planters, flowers and plants to beautify our Willow Street entrance. Many delighted exclamations were heard on Sunday!The children of Apollo Academy are going to be the caretakers of these lovely new plants as they learn about science, living things, and gardening. The students are eager to become engaged in a rotational system for taking care of watering and tending them.
Eventually, when some of the plants may die, the children will enjoy planting new ones and learning about how seeds can flourish. What a great metaphor for life.
Paul, always busy and ready with a smile!
Here are a few of the projects that Paul, our Facilities Supervisor, has been tackling:
Ran cables for indoor/outdoor security cameras on campus
Spackled & painted walls, replaced ceiling tiles and replaced lights in a room upstairs for Apollo Academy
Cleaned out the gutters and trimmed tree limbs from the building, parking lot, and side walk
Repaired and replaced various faucets, toilets, soap dispensers, etc.
Replaced a broken window at the Willow house
And, in the photo, getting ready to repair and paint the peeling areas surrounding the “no-longer-a-door”.
THANK YOU Paul!
Still Looking for a Few Good Greeters/Ushers!
We still have dates available for Greeter/Ushers, and almost all other dates need one more person to round out the 2-person team. Are YOU the perfect person??
You can get in touch with Harriet (text 813-613-4118) to let us know when you can help out. She would be beyond thrilled to hear from you, and would so appreciate your help.
