Nearly 300 volunteers from Habitat for Humanity and Grand Canyon University spread their love and spirit at Alfred F. Garcia Elementary, one of the state's most impoverished schools. The volunteers woke up early on a Saturday to shovel mounds of sand into two playground areas, paint the exterior wall of the school, turn the outdoor basketball, four-square and hopscotch squares into splendors of color, and even refill by hand the faded school emblem at the school’s entrance with fresh color.
