Take Action-
We had many struggles organizing the "Take Action" piece of our project. We contacted many AISD elementary schools, left messages, but only Casis Elementary returned our call and worked with AGS. When we spoke with the Principal, Ms. Patty Martin, we asked her if she would be interested in having us restore, re-dirt and replant new plants that we got donated from Home Depot and Lowe's into their existing sustainable garden. She was excited that we wanted to do this work so a time was planned when most of our team could attend. Our group had a good time restoring the garden and at the suggestion of the Principal we will return again to ensure that our work has survived and is flourishing with new growth. For us, the reward comes in knowing that the students at Casis Elementary get to have fresh fruits and vegetables outside their classroom door. A healthy diet will help the students have the energy to learn better and become contibuting members of our community. This is one way that we can make a positive difference toward sustainability in our own community.
