Landscape Committee
About the Landscape Committee
After the renovation of the school building was completed half way through the 2015-16 school year, the school grounds was left in a rather sorry state. The school was in need of some help getting Haycock back into shape. So, the Landscape Committee was created in 2016-17 to address this need and see what the PTA can do to help.
In just the first few years we've already made significant impact around the grounds. Most notably the Anne Rosenbaum Butterfly Garden over by the Kiss N Ride and the beds either side of the front entrance of the school and the brick paved Kiss n Ride. We have also been liaising with the school Administration and FCPS Facilities to get the grounds back in shape after the renovation. For example, taking out dead trees, cleaning up the areas around the marquee sign, and getting the playing field back into usage.
We are always looking for parents to join our little committee. So, if you're a gardener at home or just have a passion for plants & nature, please contact Sarah Crane at sarahanncrane@gmail.com
