BES Beautification Committee
Overview
Beautiful landscaping and clean facilities push students in the right direction by giving them a wonderful space to work and grow in. Along with encouraging students to be more involved in their school day, beautification teaches students how to be more respectful of the environment and to clean up after themselves.
Our Objectives

We need volunteers to support the following projects.

Indoor Beautification (murals/art)
Look for opportunities to incorporate beautification to the interior of BES. Specifically, in places like the bathrooms or walls. Potentially getting students to create Murals or Art exhibits in these spaces. Create contests and encourage environmental awareness and respect through student involvement.
