Early Sunday morning, the frost on 
our green metal roof was just starting to melt and drip off, and TNS families were already armed with shovels and rakes and implements of destruction for our fantastic fall facilities work day. Yard work was the name of the game, today. Noah Tetreault brought in the heavy machinery and moved a ton of soil, brush, and detritus with his excavator. The rain garden was completely cut back; several gardens were re claimed from invasive plants like bittersweet and multiflora rose, and our picnic tables were given some much needed love and attention. This was Amber’s first time organizing an event and she did a great job checking in with folks as they labored throughout the morning. Dana brought her husband and their dogs to fire up our pizza oven and treated volunteers to wood-fired pizzas after the work was done. Special thanks to Sharon Staz for her generous donation of some much needed tools. The grounds look great! It never fails to lift my spirits when I see what a small group of determined people can do when they work together on a common cause. Thank you, New Schoolians for your amazing efforts today!
