Grounds Beautification Committee

The Grounds Beautification Committee supports sustainability efforts on campus and inspires students to become lifelong environmental stewards. We work on campus beautification and improvement projects that benefit our entire school community—teachers, staff, students, and visitors alike.

Each year, we host campus clean-up days and contribute to projects that enhance outdoor learning and play.

We need volunteers! Whether you like to get your hands dirty, coordinate behind-the-scenes, or help with fundraising, there’s a way for you to get involved.

🌱 The Meadow Capital Campaign

Together We Swim, Together We Bloom

Davis Elementary was selected by local landscape design firm Native Son Gardens as the recipient of its inaugural Plant Community Pilot Project—a $270,000 campus revitalization that transformed our front yard into a vibrant, educational greenspace for students, staff, and visitors.

Through this incredible partnership, Native Son Gardens pledged to invest $6 for every $1 raised by our community. With the overwhelming support of Davis families, we reached our $45,000 fundraising goal and brought The Meadow to life.

🌾 Explore The Meadow

This thoughtfully designed outdoor space features six unique areas that encourage learning, play, and a connection to nature:

• The Prairie – Rolling grasses that evoke the native Texas landscape

• The Orchard – 22 fruit trees (peach, fig, apple, and loquat) for students to harvest

• The Butterfly Garden – Blooming perennials that nourish butterflies, birds, and bees

• The Farm – A veggie bed for each grade and a chicken coop for hands-on agriculture lessons

• The Woodland – Over 50 native trees providing shade and birdwatching opportunities

• The Rain Garden – 130 native shrubs and perennials that absorb rainfall and prevent flooding

This sustainable ecosystem of local flora and fauna is low maintenance, drought tolerant, and designed to alleviate campus drainage issues—ensuring generations of students benefit from this outdoor learning environment.
