A group of elementary school students are doing what they can to beautify their school.

The grade six students at Quigley Elementary in Rutland are giving the school courtyard a makeover.

The school received a provincial "Yes-2-It" grant along with a private donation for the project.

Students, with some help from parents and staff volunteers, are doing the work, including sanding, painting, restoring and assembling courtyard furniture and planters and creating murals.
