My Project

Our campus is always trying to find creative ways to get students involved and to provide leadership opportunities. We have a new community garden this year that all students have been a part of creating. It is a vegetable garden and a mindful space for calm and reflection.

We received a donation of 500 river rocks, and we dream of giving every K-6 student the opportunity to paint a rock to add a pop of color and kind message to the garden.

The rocks will have a positive affirmation or message to show that everyone belongs at our school. We need the art supplies requested in this project to make it happen!
