Roll Up Your Sleeves for a Great Cause! 

Join Us for Clean-Up Day at James E. Duckworth School

Our Community Services Committee is organizing a Clean-Up Day at the James E. Duckworth School, and we would love for you to join us.

For over 20 years, this incredible school has been a beacon of support for students with disabilities (ages 5–21) across Prince George's County. Now, it is our turn to give back – and we are making it fun, hands-on, and community-driven!

This Year’s Mission: Beautify and Prepare for the Fall!

We are refreshing the school’s outdoor spaces – and we need your help! As a Clean-Up Day volunteer, you’ll get to:

• Spruce up the nature trail
• Weed and care for Veronica’s garden
• Plant colorful fall plants
• Edge, trim, rake, and beautify the grounds
• And so much more!

Why Join?

It’s more than just yardwork – it’s community, connection, and purpose.

• Meet fellow AOBA members
• Work side-by-side for a worthy cause
• Leave with full hearts and (maybe) dirty hands

What to Bring:

• Gardening gloves

• Any helpful tools (rakes, shovels, edgers, wheelbarrows, etc.)

What to Wear:

• Weather-appropriate clothes

• Comfortable gear you don’t mind getting a little messy

Let’s make a difference—one garden bed, nature trail, and happy student at a time. We can’t wait to see you there!
