As campus leaders we strive to complete projects that will inspire others to have more school pride.  If students are proud of their school, they will be more likely to attend regularly, participate in school events, and keep the campus neat and clean.  Our fist project was to build a raised, 12' x 18' vegetable garden.  When our garden is finished, we hope to sell our vegetables to raise money for our next project.  Building the garden is hard work but we are having a lot of fun doing it!
