Faxon Patio Revitalization

By November 5, 2024 November 18th, 2024 No Comments

PrincipalsConnect is always listening to our Principals.

It was through Principal Sharp that we learned about Faxon Elementary’s staff patio. It was an enclosed space right off the building with a couple bedraggled tables and a forgotten bed of weeds.

A PrincipalsConnect volunteer saw the need, made a plan, and a team of volunteers gathered in September to turn that plan into reality!

The PrincipalsConnect team worked diligently updating the patio. They:

  • Cleaned and newly painted tables and seating
  • Purchased new, matching umbrellas
  • Dug up weeds
  • Added new plants and mulch
  • Edged the garden beds with brick

Check out the final patio! PrincipalsConnect is proud of the work we accomplished at Faxon Elementary to provide a calming place for teachers and staff to retreat to before, during and after the school day. Thank you to our volunteers who made it happen!
