Youth from the Gainesville State School recently participated in the United Way Day of Caring. Youth were chosen to participate in two projects. One was in Valley View, Texas, where youth painted all the metal work at the community park. They were able to give the park a fresh new look in record time! Youth also traveled to Lindsey, Texas, where they created five new flower beds. These beds are being planted with flowers and shrubs that attract butterflies. These new butterfly gardens are the talk of the town.
