Community Garden Unites District Schools

June 8, 2021

Memorial Junior High School and Central High School students in the Leadership Development Club, joined forces to help create a community garden at the Memorial Junior High School building. Under the guidance of adviser Laura Mesa, students, faculty, district personnel and community members gathered and assisted in creating the beautiful garden that symbolizes unity.

When reflecting on the hardship and difficulty many experienced in the year of 2020, students were asked to share what they hope for in 2021. They also wrote poems that summarized and represented these aspirations for the community. The hope from these students for the future was to become an even stronger and more cohesive community by working together.
