Give a Day Get a Day - Compton Elementary 2/20/10

Over 150 volunteers spent the day at Compton Elementary in Powder Springs, GA on 2/20/10. The volunteers were 2 years old - 75 years old. They came from Newnan, Gainesville, Loganville, Hiram, Acworth, Austell, Decatur, Norcross, and other areas. They came to work together as a family for the children of this school.

We moved a clothes closet and restocked the closet. The clothes closet is used when children need coats, shoes, clothes. Counselors are thankful that they have the ability to immediately provide assistance to a child/parent as needed. This clothes closet is used every week.

We sorted candy and inspirational notes for the students during CRCT testing week. We sorted books and moved shelves. We painted a wall for the news program. The hallways and door trims were painted. The outside was landscaped and ready for spring. Flowers were planted at the front entrance.

We had an amazing group of volunteers that fed the 150 volunteers break, lunch, snacks and drinks. Some of the children took the firemen at the fire station next to the school breakfast and lunch. They were treated to an A Class tour.

Thank you to the staff at Compton for opening up your school to A Fresh Hope. Our next workday at Compton is 3/27/10. Sign up to volunteer at www.disneyparks.com after 3/1/10. This project will focus on painting door ways and trim work.
