Our Pro Trainer Bertina Denogean led the kick-off along with Councilmember Mitch O\u2019Farrell, former five-time Laker champion, current Laker television analyst Derek Fisher, Ret. Judge Candace Cooper (Dorsey alumna), board member and actor Roger Guenveur Smith, and L.A. Works Co-founder Bob L. Johnson.\u00a0L.A. Works, New Balance, Kaiser, Target, Lakers Community, Laker Girls, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Accenture, Jonathan Club and others helped make this project possible.<\/p>\n<p>A Dorsey facilities staff member stated that 1,500 participants \u201cdid in a day what they\u2019ve been trying to do in four years.\u201d They helped to restore the campus by giving the buildings a fresh coat of paint, revamping the murals, and building a gazebo for outdoor learning. The gardens were expanded and seedling tables were built. In addition, volunteers assisted with a sustainable e-waste program that properly disposes of electronic technology in an environmentally safe way.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"media-element file-media-original\" src=\"https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/01\/PW202.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-original=\"{&quot;fid&quot;:&quot;12541&quot;,&quot;view_mode&quot;:&quot;media_original&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;media&quot;,&quot;attributes&quot;:{&quot;height&quot;:400,&quot;width&quot;:600,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;media-element file-media-original&quot;}}\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Through these activities, students learned the importance of teamwork and benefited from the quality learning environment.
