Volunteers Needed to Help Spruce Up West End School

A public school in West End is seeking some help to get ready for students before they start classes next week.

School Without Walls at Francis-Stevens is having its annual Beautification Day from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, according to a Facebook event post.

Locals can volunteer to garden, clean classrooms and install bookshelves, among other activities, at the school at 2425 N St. NW.

The school, which has students in preschool to eighth grade, is set to begin classes for the fall Monday.
