My Project

Our students need to build empathy and responsibility. Many do not stop to realize our building and grounds are cared for by others who work hard to make our spaces clean, safe, and welcoming. Our students also need ownership, movement breaks, and time in nature.

Trash Pick Up Breaks will give students a chance to take a brain break while caring for our grounds and neighborhoods.

This community service investment will give our students ownership and help show them their roles in caring for our building, grounds, and the community as a whole.
