Letter: Bijou School says thank you

To the community,

Once again, parents, students and teachers stepped up for Bijou Community School at our eighth annual community service day last weekend.

Over 50 people came out to clean up, garden, paint stencils, install a buddy bench and basketball hoop, as well as install new signage from the Take Care campaign. The Take Care campaign was created to encourage people to take care of the environment. It is a Tahoewide campaign developed by the Lake Tahoe Outreach Committee.

Thank you to all the volunteers and the Bijou PTA and Meeks for helping cover the costs of these projects.

Also, a special shoutout to Melissa and Ernie Bornstein who donated the new Buddy Bench. We are lucky that are children are at such a wonderful community school where the whole community steps up constantly.

Thanks,

Kathy Haven, parent
