American Subcontractor’s Association – New Mexico’s (ASANM) First Community Outreach Project Rocks!
In 2020, there was a vision – of a playground sandbox. Then along came COVID-19.
On Saturday, April 24, 2021 ASANM made a revised vision a reality with Alice King Community School, a charter school that had moved from two locations into a former office building. The original project was a sandbox for the elementary school children. But with the COVID-19 delay the school discovered drainage issues, so ASANM’s very first Community Outreach Project went from a sandbox to major landscaping. They moved larger rock that had migrated over the years to the drainage pooling areas back to its original place as well as along the perimeter of the property along the fence. They then added gravel to the walkways, running tracks and seating areas.
Every kudos is well-deserved for these dedicated people who made this project happen.
ASANM is super proud to have created this:

Starting with this:
A special thank you to the volunteers who came and spent the day helping to give some of the landscaping at the school a face lift. A huge thank you to Ahern Rentals for the use of the skid loader, to Buildology, Inc. for the donation of the gravel and to Miller Bonded Inc for loaning the tools to complete the project. And a final thank you to the staff at Alice King Community School for providing breakfast, lunch, drinks and snacks for the project.
Thanks to Gia Espinoza, Executive Director, ASANM for sharing their story!
