My Project

We have 4th and 5th graders who do an after-school garden club. This school is built around homes that have the school playground around it. The kids play on the playground after school and in the summer.

Our students and their siblings would have a special place to play through hard work and leadership in community service.

They need a playground with more grass and less dirt. We were hoping to get more dirt and add flowers to the grounds, maybe a tree or two for shade. The club will learn how to plant to give back to the community.

The families come to play soccer to basketball on the grass and basketball court. The homes are being built and the school grounds need upkeep. Kids and parents get away from tech and have homemade fun with each other.
