Thanks to an approved $6,751.02 grant from The Home Depot Foundation, the Lake Ridge Elementary School PTO, Inc. is completely transforming our central bus loop island into an incredible outdoor learning garden and interactive butterfly sanctuary for our students!

Recently, the Cub Scouts and parents of Pack 1365 did an amazing job clearing out the bus loop island and cleaning up the campus. Now, it is time to build—and this project shows exactly what our community can do when we work together! Swipe left to check out our official project layout blueprint! 👇📊

3️⃣ Shift 3 (1:15 PM – 2:00 PM): Botanical Infill & Mulch — Mix soil, plant premium flowers, and secure mulch borders.
