HomeArcelorMittal employees help to beautify Central Elementary School in Portage, IN
ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor employees and their families recently donated their time and talent to plant trees and shrubs and create a butterfly garden at one of the facility’s adopted schools, Central Elementary.
Last spring, Central Elementary’s garden club received a $5,000 grant from a local hardware store to purchase landscaping materials to beautify the front of the school building. Volunteers from ArcelorMittal joined together with students, teachers, parents, and other community groups and leaders for the three day plant-a-thon that began Friday, October 2.
The flower bed was prepared on Friday afternoon. The plants were put into place on Saturday, and the mulching and cleanup took place on Sunday. The finished product is something the school – and the community – can be very proud of for years to come.
