Holland Elementary
School students and their families will be very excited to be welcomed back to a
new school year by some beautiful updated landscaping, thanks to the awesome
folks at Home Depot on Telegraph Road.
The store has
decided to “adopt” Holland for the entire school year and assist with some
cosmetic updates both inside and outside the building.
The store, with an
assist from Masco Corp., replaced overgrown and out of control landscaping two
years ago. They decided Holland was a place they enjoyed helping and decided to
carry on with more assistance.
The crew replaced
wood on benches, painted signposts and a memorial chair, pulled weeds and
overgrown plants, replaced mulch and even yanked out an aging bush.
“They even took our
school sign back to their store to repaint it and put a protective coating on
it,” said Principal Sue Massucci. ”The staff was in a meeting and could see
people in orange shirts arriving and passing by the windows.”
By the end of the meeting,
the Home Depot crew had transformed the grounds.
"We were blown
away by their generosity, hard work and energy,” she said. “Our staff walked
around and stared in amazement at how beautiful our grounds looked when they
were finished."
They plan to return
and finish with some new plants and landscaping items later this week.
“We can't thank our
friends at Home Depot enough for making Holland school look so beautiful for
our kids,” Massucci said.
