Last year we worked on beautifying the library… this year we’re working on the cafeteria…If you have any green silk plants you’d like to donate to LHS, the “Green Thumb” team will be tackling the cafeteria planters this spring. As you do your spring cleaning over the next few months, any greenery you don’t need any more can be used for our project. Bring to Therese in the main office, and we will put your “used” green silk plants to good use! Thanks in advance for helping with the cafeteria project. Questions?
