You might think it would be hard to get people excited about “cleanup day” at the Joy of Music School. But then, if you know anything about the volunteer spirit around here, you’ll understand why our two recent cleanup days were smashing successes.

The first, in mid March, came at the end of a soggy week. So we dodged the raindrops by moving all our efforts indoors. Led by Ed Sublett, our manager of volunteer resources, 31 helpers completed all manner of super-important tasks, from wall washing to tile replacement to organizing our deeply disorganized supplies closet. Special thanks to Marco’s Pizza for donating lunch.

Another eager group appeared at the School in late March for an outdoor cleanup. They swept our parking lot and removed debris, trimmed our rose bushes and hedges, unclogged drainage areas and more. These friendly helpers were representing Knoxlife church, which donated mulch as well as a new evergreen bush next to our walkway.

Thanks, all, for helping the Joy of Music School look its best this spring!
