Building Community

Buddy Family

Building and Grounds

The Building and Grounds Committee acts as a liaison with Crow Island’s contracted landscape company to organize routine maintenance. It also spearheads special and seasonal landscaping projects on school grounds, such as decorative containers, bulb planting, and our organic vegetable gardens.
