LJHS Interact Club members noticed a 4‘ X 100‘ space along Westbourne St. leading to the front door of their school was covered in weeds and trash. They decided to take this on as a project.
With $2,000 from our Club for plants and supplies they gathered one Saturday early February to remove the weeds and trash, prepare the area, and re-landscape with the new plants.
Our youth service chair, Craig Schniepp talked about the significance of this re-landscaping project. “All schools now only have one point of entry. Everyone had to walk past this section which was nothing but weeds and trash. The interactors wanted something that all students, staff, and parents would enjoy and be proud of.”
LJHS principal Chuck Podhorsky agreed. “We are incredibly grateful to be part of such an extraordinary community. Our local Rotary Club is an invaluable partner to our school and our students consistently demonstrating generosity, service in a deep commitment to supporting young people. The replanting and beautification of the area in front of our school is yet another example of their kindness and dedication. Their efforts not only enhance the physical environment of our campus but also reflect the strong spirit of collaboration and Care that makes our community so special.” Chuck Marsh & quotes from La Jolla Light.
