Home Depot volunteers bring face-lift program to Roosevelt Elementary
After watching 60 volunteers paint one of the school's building,  Roosevelt Elementary School principal Kathy Bautista likened the experience to opening up a present."It's Christmas in April for us," Bautista said. Sixty volunteers, all employees from from Home Depot stores throughout the San Gabriel Valley, came to Roosevelt Elementary last week for a daylong campus beautification exercise. They painted buildings, put up new fencing along one of the playgrounds, helped excited students paint planters, and hung up ceramic tiles designed by Roosevelt students for the school's centennial celebration last year. Five picnic benches were also repainted, and one of the classroom portable buildings received an unexpected face-lift - new wooden paneling and a fresh coat of paint. Bautista said they didn't have the material or the means to hang up the tiles, which depicted students perspectives of Pasadena, so she was grateful for volunteers assistance in that. Larry Quezada, a Home Depot district manager overseeing the Roosevelt project, said the company gave the school $13,000 in equipment donation, including two new washers and dryers for the special education department. The outreach to the school comes under the company's "Team Depot/Orange Embrace" unit, which sponsors community outreach programs, including the one at Roosevelt. "It's good to come out and serve the community," he said. "They are not trapped in the store." The students also relished the opportunity to help out. A group of fourth-grade students - Yolanda Sanchez, Josephine Mendez, Jose Duran and Hector Hernandez - said they are happy to help paint one of large planters that will sit outside their classroom. The group decided that yellow flowers, a football and a soccer ball would be the only illustrations. "All we know is that we are helping the school," Yolanda said.
