ABOUT THE DANDELION INITIATIVE
We are lucky to have beautiful school grounds with gorgeous native plantings, and thanks to Genesee Hill families like YOU, we are able to care for them.
Genesee Hill families like YOU are caring for our garden beds.
Between weeding parties and Study Club and individuals weeding, we have generated dozens of bags of weeds and mulched several beds in front of the school. This initiative will help consolidate our efforts.
Mark your calendar for May 30, 2020 when the Dandelion Initiative will team up with the Family Committee for Equity and Inclusion and the PTA to host our first ever Genesee Hill Earth Day! Come help paint the back playground map, flag, and four square, as well as weed and mulch the back grounds. Meet friends old and new, have some snacks, and most importantly, have fun!
