Approximately 200 students participated in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service Saturday, February 24, 2007. McLennan County Master Gardeners worked with students at the campus entrance, planting Knock Out roses, adding newspaper and mulch to planted areas, and trimming and cleaning up a mature crape myrtle and fountain area. Several other Master Gardeners had worked earlier to install several large boulders and gravel at the entrance. Students from neighboring schools will be responsible on a regular basis for maintaining the newly planted areas.
