U40 Class Spring Project
Kingdom Keepers at Smith Elementary
For the U40 2020 Class Kingdom Keepers Project, the class selected Smith Elementary which was the site of our 2012 Kingdom for Kids Playground Build. After a site visit, Class Members wanted to spruce up the area around the playground and make it more inviting. Over 20 rotary volunteers moved 11 cubic yards of mulch & 4 cubic yards of granite. All together they installed 20,000 lbs of plants and materials!
