What better way to say "Thank You" to the Las Vegas community than to pay it forward? Best Buddies Nevada hosted the Explore Knowledge Academy Beautification Project to do just that.
On Saturday, April 24, Best Buddies Nevada spruced up Explore Knowledge Academy by re-painting the United States map on the playground, re-painting the basketball courts, Four Square and Hop Scotch areas, as well as distributing top soil, planting flowers, moving decorative rock, pulling weeds and cleaning up garbage at this one-of-a-kind Las Vegas Charter School.
The Martinet family made homemade pulled pork sandwiches, hotdogs, coleslaw, and served it with chips and fresh fruit. Their generous donation capped off a fantastic day of service. Thank you to Star Nursery and to Stan and Melissa for making the donation of the top soil, gravel, and rock possible. Thank you to Moon Nursery for donating five flats of flowers.
