My team, Team James River, went to Fairfield Court Elementary School yesterday to work with RPS. In helping them prepare for the coming school year, we weeded the front entrance, mulched 6,400(!) pounds of mulch into the area surrounding the trees and bushes, and leaf blew the sidewalk. Everyone did amazing!
Zoe and Ellie worked with me as we spread the mulch and we had some pretty awesome conversations, Jack and Justin did a lot of the heavy lifting and wheel barreled the majority of the mulch, and William did a great job with the leaf blower. All of our teamwork led to us finishing a half an hour earlier than the time we were expected to finish. We ate lunch and then traveled to Commonwealth Senior Living where we helped flatten paper bags from grocery stores. All of those paper bags would be crocheted into a mattress or bag for the homeless, which is pretty cool! After that, some of the senior citizens decided to teach us dominoes and we had fun playing a few rounds. We then played a few rounds of Bingo where William and Zoe dominated.
We took showers and then went to Bryan Park, where we had a cookout prepared by a few members of the Youth Ministry Team. We had a great time and overall had an impactful and amazing day!
