Community Day at Jackson School

Andrew Jackson School (1213 S. 12th St.) needs about 100 volunteers for its Community Day on Saturday, September 13! At 11 am, volunteers will begin various painting and beautification projects around the school – please email education@passyunk.org if you are able to volunteer (no tools or experience needed). After the volunteer work is completed, at 3 pm we will cut the ribbon for Jackson’s brand new playground! Refreshments and a DJ will be on hand for the celebration, and all are welcome!
