Rock'N Good Time

My Project

The school district converted the schools grass into dessert landscaping. Of course with being ranked at the bottom for education nation wide, the landscaping was done by the lowest bidder. Now the front of the school feels like a prison and not a school.

School should be welcoming from the moment you pull in to the parking lot!

This project purchases enough rocks for every student to decorate. They will be able to place the rock in front of the school to transform the landscape while leaving their mark behind! We can beautify the school and build our school community all in one!
