The leadership class
participated in a project to beautify our campus. Please notice the path and
newly planted flowers in the outdoor classroom and the fresh mulch surrounding
the flagpole area. The class also trimmed the bushes in front of the depot,
planted flower seeds, and lay down a path to cross within the mulch. The
leadership class would love it if everyone took notice of their hard work and
used the new paths.

few moments to go to the site below to vote for your favorite PSA created by
our beginning broadcasting students:
