9th Graders Volunteer at Glenn Creek This Weekend
April 24, 2009 | 4:25 pm
From DHS teacher Chris Billingsley…
More than thirty 9th grade Decatur High School students in Mr. Beau Dominguez and Chris Billingsley’s social studies classes will be volunteering at the Glenn Creek Nature Preserve Saturday morning from 9:00 until 1:00. Students will be building trails, spreading mulch, removing evasive plants and other types of physical labor. Students will also be seeking sponsors for their efforts. If you would like to sponsor a student for $1 per hour and up, please contact Mr. Chris Billingsley at cbillingsley@csdecatur.net for more information.
All money raised on Saturday will be donated in honor of the three DHS parents who lost their lives to cancer during the school year. One of the students suggested Our Lady of Perpetutual Cancer Home near Turner Field as the charity. Thanks for all your past support.
Evasive plants? Kudzu gots legs?
I volunteered with the kids this morning and they did a fantastic job and worked very hard. Mr. B and Mr. Dominguez do a great job of teaching our 9th graders civic responsibility and community action! I am very proud of this upcoming group of kids. Not to mention that is a HUGE help to the Glenn Creek Nature Preserve (off of Fairview Dr., North from Ponce on Sycamore).
Thanks to the kids who volunteered. Even more thanks to Chris for setting up the opportunity.
Glad to hear everything went so well!
FYI…I’ve added a couple pics sent in by Chris Billingsley and Neil Norton to the top of this post.
Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed that particularly amusing typo.
