It was a labor of love as Arkansas State University Mid-South students and employees gathered at the start of Spring Break week to help give Weaver Elementary School in West Memphis, a spring cleaning. Forty-four members of the ASU Mid-South family including students, faculty and staff gathered early on a chilly, sunny March 21st to trim and weed flower beds, add mulch, pressure wash buildings and equipment and spruce up the school with paint.
“The community has been so kind to the college and this was a way for us to give back in a small way. We hope to make this an annual event,” said Dr. Debra West, Chancellor at ASU Mid-South. “We intend to make more targeted efforts to contribute to our community, and it was obvious that everyone who worked on this project felt that it was a great start to a new tradition.”
