My Project

Students will be able to keep their devices charged without having to plug in when the battery is low with our new locking tablet charging station. They can research how and when to plant the flowers and how to care for them.

The flowers will attract butterflies and birds.

It will not only enhance the entrance to the school, but also the parent pick up and drop off area. Students will be able to see their efforts when they come to school each day. They will be able to take pride in their hard work and realize that the flowers will help the bee population increase, thus adding beauty to the school and the world.
