Under cloudy skies, the Big Event came to HAE on Saturday, April 5. Two groups from Virginia Tech, including a dance ensemble, were prepared to weed the gardens, mulch the beds, and rake the leaves. A Brownie Girl Scout Troop that included several HAE students planted pansies and mulched around the swing sets. An ambitious group of 8th graders did a lot of the heavy lifting, and several HAE families also participated. Students from Scholastic Painters spruced up the drab doors with bright colors. And after several hours of hard work, pizza and some play, the HAE gardens looked beautiful. Thanks to everyone!
The HAE PTA is committed to supporting the HAE community of teachers, staff members and families. Most importantly, we wish to promote the abilities of all children to ensure their success. PTA meetings are held each month on the 2nd Monday. Free child care is provided, and all are welcome to attend.
