NBA Cares Day of Service

Capdau School is a charter school in Gentilly. It is one of the schools that was hit pretty hard by Katrina, and ever since, they have had to rely on volunteers for many things to get it back up to where it is now. At Capdau, we had a few projects going on for the NBA Cares Day of Service:
  • Scraping the paint on the 1st floor
  • Priming the walls after scraping was done
  • Painting the walls after the priming was done (we didn't get to this point)
  • Building a basketball court
  • Building benches for the court
  • Laying down new mulch for the playground
  • Laying down sod for a new football field
  • Painting murals which are going to be hung up around the school
