My Project

Every year our school hosts a community service day where all 8th graders are giving back to the community by beautifying different outdoor spaces.

This year, my students are creating a whimsical garden full of art and plants.

We have already received plant donations from a local greenhouse and tires which will be painted for a garden bed.

I am requesting plastic bowls which the students are going to paint like mushroom caps and spray paint to paint the tires. They will also use the spray paint to turn rocks into lady bugs for our garden space. Your donations will help make this community service day a great success!

Grades 6-8
