Nativity students had the pleasure of joining efforts with our neighborhood association South Wedge Planning Committee (SWPC) & the block club Hickory N.U.T.S. Neighbors United Through Service to water the thirsty planters in Marie Dailey Park! Buckets were passed, hand to hand, stretching the entirety of the park to reach the planters.
