My Project

Our art room has an outside courtyard that is in much need of an update. There are currently beautiful trees that students may use to draw still life within their sketchbooks. But the mulch needs a major update. This rubber mulch will last much longer and will beautify the space so that our students can enjoy and practice drawing for years to come. This will also show the students the importance of keeping their space beautiful and taking ownership of the common spaces within the school. All students walk past this area on a daily basis so it will benefit everyone in the school.
