Step Up to Leadership

Uploaded by rmaxtorres.

The Rose Hill Garden Project begins with these middle school students in the Leadership Class at Fonville Middle School. It is exciting to see the emerging motivation in the lives of some of these young people. I saw at least a few in each class who actually drove the action in their group. Evident in their conversation and through their ideas was the acquired skill they each had through their family experience. I believe the parents of each of these students would be proud to see their children's leadership in this project.

There will definitely be a sense of accomplishment when they put the finishing touches on this project. The gloves, rakes and fertilizer we ordered finally came in this afternoon. Tomorrow will hopefully be a flurry of activity with students and adults. Pictures will follow. Check the Flickr soon.
