    EARTH DAY CLEAN UP 

    In honor of Earth Day, WES and TPVS teamed up again last week to help spruce up the school grounds and our community. Teams headed out to clean up trails, rake the school grounds, prepare gardens for planting, pick up trash on the Green, installed a Little Library on the playground, and work at Faulkner Park.
