Posted on    by

Prudential Dinning-Beard, Realtors were at Rex Elementary School bright and early on October 3 helping the school’s fifth grade students restore Rex Pride Park located on the East side of the school. For the third year, students and Prudential employees prepared the area, planted flowers and bushes, pulled weeds, and distributed mulch. They also finished painting fitness games on the blacktop that the students use during recess. The Rex Pride Park project is organized by Rex Elementary’s Communities In School Coordinator Shaye Ferguson. Thanks to all the donors and volunteers that make this project a success.
