Schoolyard Improvement Committee/Comité de Mejora del Patio Escolar

The Curley Schoolyard Improvement Committee recently lost some of our core leadership. We need people to join and help lead this important group so that we can continue to care for the Curley outdoor campus effectively. Our work falls into two categories:/El Comité de Mejora del Patio Escolar de Curley recientemente perdió parte de nuestro liderazgo principal. Necesitamos personas que se unan y ayuden a dirigir este importante grupo para poder seguir cuidando eficazmente el campus exterior de Curley. Nuestro trabajo se divide en dos categorías:

Maintenance of the grounds: we always hold schoolyard cleanups in the spring and fall;
Generating new ideas for improving the space. We can use people who enjoy working outdoors – e.g. planting, pruning, landscaping – and also people who are just good at leading, planning, and organizing.

Everything helps! If interested, email jfrazier2@bostonpublicschools.org.
