Magnet school seeks beautification help

Wadsworth Maganet for High Achievers in DeKalb County will start the 2015-2016 school year in a new facility. To get the grounds ready for the students, staff and families, the school is hosting a beautification day. Since it takes a village for school success, Wadsworth is asking the community to come lend a hand. Bring work gloves, garden tools and elbow grease. Long pants, close-toed shoes, sunscreen and bug repellent are recommended. Refreshments will be served. Everyone is welcome because there is no age limit to help.

When: 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 8

Where: Wadsworth Magnet for High Achievers, 3039 Santa Monica Dr., Decatur
