DCPS Beautification Day  

The annual DC Public Schools Beautification Day was established in 2005 as the official day for a citywide “spruce up” of all DC public school buildings and front grounds in preparation for school opening. This activity, in past years, has been a joint venture of DCPS, parent leaders and community organizations. Beautification efforts include landscaping, trash pick up, light painting, planting flowers and other external beautification efforts. Last year, 1700 volunteers populated all DCPS schools to help restore the facilities in preparation for the start of schools!

The DCPS Beautification Day 2008 will take place on August 23, 2008. If you or your group is interested in volunteering, please register here. Serve DC is also looking for volunteers to serve as site managers and assistant site managers to serve as points of contact at individual schools. They are responsible for managing volunteers, supplies and service. Individuals serving as site managers or assistant site managers must attend a mandatory training session. Training sessions will be offered on August 11, 12 and 13 from 6 pm to 8 pm at One Judiciary Square, 441 4th Street, NW. Please email dcpsvolunteers@dc.gov with your name and contact information to sign up. Learn more about becoming a Beautification Day volunteer Site Manager*.
