Spellman Beautification Day a Huge Success!
On Saturday, August 16, 19 adults and 10 children responded to Principal Susan Holiday’s invitation to help beautify Spellman in time for the start of the new school year. We removed bags and bags of weeds and trash, planted Black-Eyed Susans (donated by CAPS), put down mulch (donated by the Town) and generally helped make the front of the school look fabulous. The volunteers included Principal Holiday and her family; a Spellman staff member; parents of Spellman students; a teenage Spellman alumnus; and, Cheverly residents without kids, with older kids and with pre-school aged kids. State Delegate Jolene Ivey even joined us, rolling up her sleeves and getting right to work. It is just this kind of all-Cheverly involvement that CAPS wants to facilitate to support our local public schools. Many thanks to everyone who came out to help. Special thanks to Ann Barsi for remembering to bring a camera! Click on the picture below to see the whole day!!
