Garden volunteers recently prepared the MES Garden for the fall season. Kindergartner Alex Erlich, was joined by his parents who helped in the clean up efforts and took photographs documenting the event. Lindsey Mefford, an alum of Matoaka, came out with her family to earn volunteer service hours. The gentlemen that joined us BJ Hennessey, Jim Mefford and Josh Erlich opted out of the photo, but provided invaluable services trimming bushes and performing minor repairs to the garden infrastructure. Our Garden Volunteers are Amazing! Thank you!!
