The Beacon Hill International School's elementary students need your help! After their old playground was damaged last school year, a dedicated group of parents rallied to raise the funds and get the grants necessary to install a new playground. Come help us drill, hammer and build the new playground into existence. No construction experience necessary!
Breakfast, lunch and tools provided. Please dress for the outdoors and bring a refillable water bottle to use throughout the day.
We need build team volunteers who can commit to the full day (8:15am-2:30pm) and volunteers who can come for shorter periods of time to help with serving breakfast/lunch and engaging children in fun activities.
Contact Erika Warner-Court ( erika.warner-court@mercer.com) for information on how to sign up.
