Civic Engagement Project

With doing this civic engagement project I have learned so much. For my project KellyJo and I planted flowers outside the school. I feel this was a good project it brought some color to our school. Our original plan was to plant flowers around every other tree at the school, but with the way our economey is it was a problem getting donations of flowers and money. We worked with two great company's that helped us out.True Value donated a flat of flowers and Robertson's construction donated twenty five dollars so that we could go buy some more plants. We did what we could, we planted around 6 of the tree's and it looks better than what it did before. With doing this I think that it would be nice if someone could pick this back up what we did this year for next year. Maybe start early in the year with doing a fundraiser that way they could raise more money so that they could plant even more flowers than we did this year. With doing this project I think that it has opened everyone's eyes to how much our community can use the help.
