Beautify Your School Leaders: Austin Martin Emily Wilson Taylor Joslin
The Problem • Unappealing Area • Flowerbed full of weeds, leaves, dead plants, and trash • Torn up border • Path unfilled • Area not maintained
The Question How can we make an important contribution to our school?
The Answer By restoring and beautifying the neglected north side of the school
Why? • Show school administration that we care our about school environment • Create a positive image for the school without even walking in the doors • Love gardening & have lots of experience
Benefits of School Beautification • Friendlier learning environment • Linked to increased test scores • Teaches responsible behavior • Provides a better overall image for the school
Materials • Trowels • Buckets • Flowers • Annuals • Perennials • Rakes • Pebbles • Stepping Stones • Pruning Shears
Led volunteers Removed dead plants What We Did Trimmed shrubs Removed trash
Planted flowers Laid new path of pebbles & stepping stones Buried the damaged edging
How It Helped • Appealing area • Reflects positively upon the school’s “green” image • Relaxing area that students and faculty can use to socialize and enjoy nature
