I am grateful that we were able to play a small role in a service project at Winn Elementary School here in Austin. Our stake has an annual service project for schools in the area. From what I heard, the school board was seriously considering closing down Winn Elementary because it was too expensive with all of the work that needed to be done. There were projects that needed to be done inside and outside the school. We were able to provide the labor needed to tackle the projects. Jonathan and I assisted with creating the gardens for the children to use.
There were people everywhere, planting trees and flowers to pulling weeds out of the overgrown track to painting murals. There were big jobs to be done and there were less people compared to the previous year, but it all got done. The projects will help keep the school open. I'm grateful that my small effort was able to help our new community.
