West students clean up courtyards

A group of students at Lapeer West High School took advantage of some nice weather over the last couple of weeks to clean up the courtyards at the school.


West High Garden Club members were joined by National Honor Society members on Nov. 15 and 22.


The Garden Club is in its second year and works in cooperation with the women of the Lapeer Wildflower Garden Club, who have spent countless hours over the past few years working to beautify the courtyards at West.

The Wildflower Garden Club has planted trees, plants and cleaned up some neglected areas. They have added picnic tables, chairs and other garden features as well.


The student group has helped them in these efforts and has raised money to help fund the improvements. This fall’s clean-up involved Garden Club members and NHS members who wanted to help as well as earn community service hours.

The Lapeer West High School Garden Club spent a nice afternoon recently cleaning up the courtyards and flower beds from a typical Michigan winter.

Students built and installed birdhouses, as well as sprucing up the gardens. The courtyards and gardens at the school are enjoyed by students and staff.
