Located just outside of Center City Charlotte, our middle school campus sits between the Plaza Midwood and First Ward communities. This location gives our students walking access to a variety of community resources and allows us to truly meet our vision of using the community as our classroom.
Our students are creative, energetic, out-of-the-box thinkers who are eager to develop solutions to real problems facing their community.
They are inventors, artists, engineers, authors, scientists, and more. Many of our students struggled to find success in more traditional public school environments, so it's especially exciting to see our students' unique talents and passions emerge as they build confidence through real-world, hands-on learning experiences. Put simply, our students are amazing.
My Project
Water is key to optimal brain function and learning, yet many of our students don't drink enough water during the school day. This project will ensure that our students have access to clean, sustainable water all day long so that they are hydrated, healthy, and ready to learn. The water bottle filling station will motivate students to drink the daily recommended amount of water because it will be refrigerated, filtered, and easy to access.
This project will help students get the water they need to think, focus, and be creative while reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
Our students are passionate about the environment and are excited to help our school community significantly reduce the use of disposable plastic water bottles that harm the environment.
Help us keep our kids hydrated and our planet healthy!
