Many Hands Make Light Work

Excitement continues to build as volunteers at Discovery Place KIDS – Huntersville continue to work behind-the-scenes to prepare the Museum to open this fall. Newell Rubbermaid has provided many of those hard-working volunteers, sending several groups of 12 or more to help put together products donated by the company.

On July 19, we found the Newell Rubbermaid volunteer crew hard at work once again at Discovery Place KIDS, this time in The Learning Garden outside the building where they were busy installing the garden and playspace areas. In addition to installing the Newell Rubbermaid-donated storage shed and benches, the team busied themselves putting in edging for the garden path, building an arbor over a “tree stump table”, building a container garden for plants and putting pavers in front of the door, making the building accessible to all.

Volunteers indoors completed shelving which will house the craft materials for theI CAN Create
theme area.

The Learning Garden also will feature a Soft Play sandbox, water feature, an outdoor xylophone and a weather station with temperature monitor, rain gauge and other weather-related activities.

Our dedicated volunteers have been instrumental in preparing Discovery Place KIDS to open, but we will need ongoing volunteer assistance to make the Museum a success! If you are interested in volunteering at Discovery Place KIDS , please let us know. To find out more about volunteering click here
