A catalyst is a spark. It is the start of a change. As you read this report,
think what the spark was.
Eighth grade students saw progress as builders constructed new homes
where vacant lots had been. Families were moving into the community, although there still were some vacant lots. In those vacant lots, there was a lot of trash.Members of block clubs picked up the trash, but even then, the lots did not stay
clean. Wind blew trash there from the street. "No one can do anything about this,"
said one student. "Yes, we can," said another. Their teacher agreed. They wouldplant a garden in a vacant lot.
Their teacher showed them pictures of the community long ago. She
showed them that it used to have great gardens. The students said they could make this change. It was after their school president got elected. His slogan had been "Yes, we can." They believed it, and they would prove it.
The students met with the principal to ask if they could create a community garden in the vacant lot closest to the school. She told them that it was a great idea,but they would have to volunteer their own time and work on it every weekend. The students agreed and promised they would donate their time every Saturday.
The students needed to collaborate with the community. They wanted to be surethat everyone in the community wanted the garden. They met with block clubs and told
them their plan. The block clubs applauded the project and said they would help.
The students went on the internet to learn about plants. They looked for plants that would grow well in the community. They chose some evergreen plants and bulbs.
They learned a lot about plants and gardening, and they also learned about fund-raising.
The students needed money to get the bulbs and plants. They needed tools,too. They made a budget and drew pictures of what the garden would look like when it
was finished. They sent that budget and their plan to get funding, and a foundation funded their plan. The students got 10,000 pesos to buy what they needed.
They are 8th graders, so this summer they will meet with the seventh grade.They will ask them to take over the garden. It will be their legacy to the school community.
