150 City Year Volunteers Turn Out for Progress Elementary Clean-Up
- March 1, 2010

Principal Loretta Burke-Henry said volunteers made benches, painted, cleaned and landscaped – all the things needed to enhance the school's appearance and learning environment. In fact, several volunteers, such as (pictured, left to right) McKenzie Malanaphy of the Baton Rouge corps and Katie Oliver of the New Orleans corps, took time to draw and paint several book-related murals around the school.
