On August 11th, for DC Cares' 2007 Corporate Month of Service Hands On Schools project, 350 volunteers came together to do a school renovation project at Clark Elementary School.
This Hands On School project consisted of several tasks that will enhance the inside and the ouside of the school. Volunteers helped paint the front of the building, landscape trees and flowers everywhere, repair and fence-in the playground area, install new playfields, and repair the volleyball court. They also sanded and painted the fencing around the school, repainted the parking lines in the parking lot, and ensured that the entire interior of the school got a new coat of paint, to brighten the learning environment. In terms of technology, Clark Elementary got a State of the Art Computer lab with updated installations to the teachers’ and office’s computers. The school’s library was transformed into a multi-media lab where the kids want to be and hang out.
