The new Arthur Ashe Charter School |
Over
200 Lutheran teen volunteers from across the country gathered at the new
Arthur Ashe Charter School site, 1456 Gardena Drive, on July 18 to help transform the
facade with a colorful array of florals, sunflowers and cypress trees,
in anticipation of the first day of school, August 6. Ashe
officially moved over the summer, from its temporary Uptown location, to its
permanent, newly constructed building on the Bienville Elementary site in the
Lake Park neighborhood of Gentilly. The new site includes a garden-science
classroom, a teaching kitchen, a fully-equipped cafeteria kitchen, and plans
for several themed gardens, arches and pathways, and a one-acre
production garden.
