Students will be asked to look at community service as a way to help the community grow, rather than a punishment that happens when someone gets in trouble. Some of the main themes include working as a team, communicating well, understanding why we need to clean things up in the community, and how one can discover them along the way. The project will center on removal of invasive species as a team and the benefits of the community it serves. They can then use what they learn to improve a courtyard on school property.
