Beautification Club

By: Helena, Natalie, and Addison

Description-

Building Community: Our club has the goal of bringing the Tucker High community together through gardening and bonding with members from all backgrounds. We'll learn together and create beauty that will stay with Tucker forever while building meaningful relationships.

Trash Pick-Up: The trash pick-up component of this club is aimed at trying to make the school environment cleaner. When planting, we will be on the lookout for any litter that needs to be cleaned up. As well, we will put up no littering signs in the areas that have the most trash.

Helena & Natalie- We decided to start the club to build community within Tucker while making the school more beautiful at the same time. We also planned an interest meeting and came up with all of the upcoming dates for our club. Our goal is to make our club feel like a community of students who can rely on each other, and hopefully, after a few more meetings, we can do just that.

Addison- I am in charge of the trash pick-up portion of this project. I will lead people around the campus searching for trash and will also try and find places other than the school where there is a lot of litter. I will arrange dates and times to go and pick up trash so that we can make our community cleaner!

The images above are from before the meeting and the images below are from after the meeting. On the left the  bar graphs evaluate how connected the individuals feel to the school community before being in the club and how they think they will feel after being in the club for a year. On the right, the bar graphs evaluate the individuals sense of purpose in the school community before being in the club and how they think they will feel after being in the club for a year.
