Grounds and Beautification Committee Report 2010

Dear Keller Families,

During the last few years the G&B Committee has worked to improve the entirety of the grounds at Helen Keller Elementary.  We hope you will take a few minutes to read about all of the good things that have been accomplished by our parents and the school district.  

G&B Mission Statement:
To respect our neighborhood and the Helen Keller community by creating and maintaining school grounds that are neat, clean and beautiful in which to live, work and learn.

Motivation:
We all want our children to thrive in an environment that is respectful, inspiring and well maintained.  Thus, it is important that we keep our school grounds beautiful.  Did you know that the school district is responsible for mowing lawns but it is parent volunteers that beautify the grounds with landscaping and maintenance?  This is the reason PTAs created G&B committees.

School buildings are public property.  No one wants to live next to a house or building with an unkempt lawn. It can lower the value of nearby properties.  We help our private property values when we take care of what we own collectively. Right or wrong, many people judge the success of a school based on its outward appearance.

Nice lawns and flowers serve as an open invitation to prospective homebuyers and parents, hopeful in their search for a great school in a wonderful neighborhood.  G&B has invested in change that we believe will improve our children’s education and returns in the form of an improved neighborhood and more parents choosing Keller. When we invest in the care of the school grounds, we get a return on our investment.
