SLAUGHTER, La., August 22, 2024 /3BL/ - A team from Entergy’s River Bend Station rolled up their sleeves and got to work recently during the second annual Slaughter Elementary School Beautification Day.

Employees trimmed trees, painted parking lots, beautified buildings, installed new playground equipment and more, in an effort to give back to the community.
