About the Project

The “Growing and Going Green: Arts & Leadership in Action” project is designed to engage both Leadership and Visual Arts elective students in taking meaningful action on campus and in the wider community.
Student leaders will plan and facilitate monthly environmental impact workshops on topics such as plastic pollution, composting, healthy soil, pollinators, and container gardening throughout the school year. The school’s edible garden will be cultivated and enhanced with multilingual signage to serve as a more functional learning space for the community. The native plant garden in the school’s quad will also be revitalized, with students learning about the vital role native species play in the local ecosystem. The project will culminate in the unveiling of a student-designed mural and a celebration to honor the school’s shared commitment to “Grow and Go Green.”
