Thank you all so much for your participation in the project - fixing up the Mitchell Elementary School outdoor science areas. We did an excellent job with the outdoor classroom and the observation hut/storage shed area and hope it will be put to good use with hands on education for our kids.
It was great that so many different community, town and business groups could come together to make this happen. It took a few months of coordinating and planning, but we got it done. Special thanks to the Mitchell Parent Teacher Organization and the Knights of Columbus Archbishop Neale Council #2279 for providing the direct funding for the effort. Also Marc Lavery and Commercial Concrete coordinated and donated material and equipment that without their generosity the project could not have been completed. Thanks also to the North Point and La Plata student volunteers that worked March 21st and the Town of La Plata Operations Department that worked on Friday March 20th to get the process started. Most of all thanks to the Volunteers - school parents, the science teacher, the Knights, our young student helpers, Clarks Run residents and even a few guests.
