Clean-up Day at James E. Duckworth School

Join us for our LAST Clean-up Day

at James E. Duckworth School! 

The Community Outreach Committee is cleaning up the James E. Duckworth School for the last time!

For the last 20+ years, James E. Duckworth School has served Prince George's County students with disabilities ages 5 through 21.

AOBA has proudly supported the Duckworth school by supporting school projects such as:

• Raising funds for a sensory room to assist autistic students
• Renovating the teacher's lounge and independent living apartment
• Building a blacktop track where students can exercise
• Building a mobility playground with a sunshade so students can stay cool while playing
• Creating and maintaining a nature trail
• Installing exterior lighting and an internal speaker system

This year, we need your help in preparing the school for reopening in the fall by revitalizing its landscape. As a Cleanup Day volunteer, you will have the option to:

• Clean up the nature trail
• Weed and prune Veronica’s garden
• Plant fall plants
• Edge and trim the grounds
• And much more!

Clean-up Day has always been a fun way for AOBA members to join together to keep the Duckworth School a clean and beautiful place for their students. Members will meet new friends, catch up with colleagues and enjoy a delicious lunch.
