Alpharetta Elementary PTA

Grounds

Throughout the year, The Grounds Committee organizes volunteers to maintain and beautify the outside grounds of the school through scheduled “Grounds Clean-up” days (weekends) and “Parents’ Morning Out” days (weekdays).  This is a great volunteer opportunity for those who enjoy the outdoors and the entire family can participate.

The primary goal for our school grounds is that they are “Neat, Clean, and Safe” for our children. The Grounds Committee accomplishes this by organizing parent volunteers and students (with teacher’s permission).

On a typical Clean Up Day or Parent’s Morning Out, we will:

• Weed
• Prune shrubs and trees and other plants as needed
• Apply mulch using wood chips, mulch or pine straw
• Remove trash and debris
• Plant flowers, shrubs and trees as needed
• Water any newly installed plants

For larger projects, we will recruit AES Partners, the Watch Dogs Dad’s Club, Beta Club, and Girl and Boy Scouts.

School Grounds Clean-up Day

• Friday, November 11th, 9am-11am – Cafeteria Courtyard
• Saturday, November 12th, 11am-2pm
• Sunday, November 13th, 12:00pm – 2:00pm

*Please note earlier start time, from last week’s announcement.*

The PTA School Grounds Committee is planning Fall Clean-Up on the weekend of 11/11-11/13.  We’re using VolunteerSpot to organize the activities. The county provides very limited landscaping services, so volunteers are needed to help keep our school grounds looking great!

We’re also painting games on the Front Field pavement area (basketball & four square) to provide our students with additional recess activities.

ANY amount of time is appreciated, and the entire family is welcome to participate. Water and snacks will be provided. Please click the link below to learn more and sign up to help. Thanks for making a difference!

Go to Volunteer Spot to let me know you’re coming!
