Community lends a helping hand to fill a need
ORANGE PARK, Fla. -- Sometimes small things can make a big difference, just ask Grove Park Elementary.
This week picnic tables were delivered free of change to replace old wood that had seen its better days.
"The other ones were kind of getting warped and these are just wonderful," said Opal Phelps who had her second grade class outdoors on the tables reading under the shade.
First Baptist Church in Orange Park that has bonded with the school for years initiated the project that was embraced by the community.
Sam Pruitt said it was not problem getting support and donations to replace the 20 tables that were aged by years of use.
All the materials he says were donated by local businesses and students from Orange Park High handled the construction end of the job.
