One team gets instruction for work at the Washington Irving Elementary School on the city's east side.
-
The workers dig in for groundskeeping tasks at the school.
-
Preparing a rock garden requires some hands-on treatment.
-
Even rocks suffer the occasional indignity of rejection.
-
Portions of the groundskeeping materials had to moved about the school grounds.
-
Sticks and stones ... all of it was vulnerable to being cast aside for the sake of scenic beauty.
-
Even hard work can offer some light-hearted moments.
-
Mounds of mulch had to be strewn about the grounds.
-
Workers also helped in a neighborhood near the famed Lucas Oil Stadium, which will host the 2012 Super Bowl.
-
Cleanliness is next to ... well, good neighborhoods.
-
The mulch will help the neighborhood blossom with new foliage.
-
Helping trees grow straight and tall can be a hands-on task.
-
The work was hot, but worthwhile for the volunteers.
-
When the missions reached the final stages, it was time to break out the smiles of accomplishment.
-
Some used shovels, others their hands to spread the mulch.
-
Follow the dotted line ...
-
After the work came the reward: the annual Day of Caring pizza luncheon in the Business-SPEA breezeway ...
-
... where workers had a chance to swap tales of their efforts.
