Community Service

Giving Back and a Legacy

My community service project was completed with fellow Blue Ridge Governor’s School Senior Andrew Estes. Our goal was to create the plans for an outdoor academic area for use by the students and staff of Louisa County Middle School, the junior high which we both attended. Todd Weidow and Superintendent Doug Straley supervised this project. I consider this project to be an effort to do something exciting for the community which provided me with the skills and opportunities I have today. The project began with taking a general idea to Mr. Straley and developing a plan based on LCMS teacher Mrs. Granger’s idea. Then, a meeting was held with numerous people to discuss prospects of the project and afterward, information was gathered from students to gain their input. The result of multiple meetings and communications was a proposed outdoor academic area for Louisa County Middle School. Overall, the impact this project will have on future students will be immense, as noted by the charts included on the Action Research Plan page.
