Mondays at lunch in G-49
Fridays from 3:30-5pm
Tree Harper meets Mondays at lunch and Fridays after school from 3:30 to 5:00. All are welcome! Tools and gloves are provided. We raise funds through direct donations and through a wacky beard contest called the Fund Razor. We beautify our campus by picking up litter and leaves, tackling landscaping projects, planting shrubs and trees, pruning and trimming existing plants, and painting and organizing. We’ve planted 72 new trees so far, with a 100% survival rate. Completed projects include trees along the track, trees along the fire lane, an elm grove, an oak grove, completion of a storage shed for room A-2, flower beds near the bike entrance, a Japanese garden near A-4, four shaded outdoor classroom areas, and much more. Current projects include trees in our front parking lot, trees near the stoplight, trees behind E wing, trees between the track and the baseball diamond, flowers near the bike rack, and a boulder garden that will double as a car barrier.

Summer Update and Calendar:
Check out the Friends of Frances Summer Calendar to see when Mr. McKim could use your help. He’ll update the calendar on the fly as his summer commitments can be unpredictable. Check the calendar whenever you have a free morning. There's no need to RSVP, just come join in the fun! Bring your family or friends, bring water, & wear work clothes. Most days, work will start at 8:00 and end at 11:00 a.m. due to the heat.
