MacArthur Residents Plan to Beautify Hollywood Elementary
MacArthur residents led by a PTA committee and Homeroom Mothers launched a spring beautification drive for Hollywood Elementary School. They secured four adjoining lots for a safer playground, planned a friendship trail with stone markers, fenced the court, planted trees, and sought sponsors for a student club as work proceeds. Local groups including the Beckley Junior Chamber of Commerce assisted, and the project aims to finish before summer.
