LAKEVILLE — Students, staff and parents at Mullein Hill Christian Academy recently participated in a half-day beautification effort to improve the school building and grounds.

Participants worked outdoors to plant in the school garden, remove stones from the playground, weed, pick up sticks, plant flowers, and spread mulch. Indoors, volunteers took out trash, washed desks and helped organize classrooms.

“This event was about learning to take care of our school through good stewardship,” said Diane Ash, Mullein Hill Office Manager. “It was fun working together as a community.”

Mullein Hill Christian Academy is a non-denominational Christian school serving students in the region.
