With the fall season on the horizon, students at Meadowbrook Elementary School in the East Meadow School District gathered to tidy up their school’s gardens during the annual Fall Beautification Day on Sept. 13.
With shovels in hand, students, accompanied by teachers and PTA members, dug holes in the front gardens and planted a vibrant variety of plants, including asters and mums. The school’s PTA purchased the plants.
Teacher Peter Olenik and PTA Co-presidents Lisa Petz and Tracy Reese were on hand to lend support to students and oversee the event. According to Mr. Olenik and Mrs. Petz, the event makes for a special day that unites students and allows them to better understand camaraderie and teamwork, all while beautifying their school.
