The weekly summertime service event, held from 6-8 p.m., helps maintain the school\u2019s garden full of flowers and plants used for teaching and learning throughout the school year.<\/p>\n

Marie Culver, Seatack gifted resource teacher, described the abundance of volunteers of all ages who worked in the heat as \u201cinspirational for our school.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe mulched the entire garden with 5 yards of mulch and lots of sweat!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Among the volunteers were student and adults from Seatack Elementary, Virginia Beach Middle School, Plaza Middle School, Corporate Landing Middle School, Brickell Academy at Old Donation School, Ocean Lakes High School, First Colonial High School and area faith-based organizations.<\/p>\n

In addition to weeding, watering and sweating, members of Brickell Academy\u2019s National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) added more books and a commemorative plaque to the Little Free Library it established at Seatack in the spring.<\/p>\n
