White Station ninth-grader Gabrielle Clark helps plant in the school’s courtyard on Saturday at White Station High School. Volunteers spent the day working on landscaping in the school’s courtyard as part of a half-million dollar project led by attorney Richard Myers. (Brad Vest/Special to Daily Memphian)
