8th Grade Boys Organize Field House
The 8th graders were divided into 3 groups this week. Our group has been working with Coach Pete doing various projects around the Quarries complex. On Monday, they cleaned out the field house. They made MANY trips to the dumpster and helped to make the field house more organized. They also rearranged the weight room. Go check it out! On Tuesday, they helped Coach Brandon with a long jump project and then picked up at least 10+ bags of trash along the driveway into the Quarries. Today, they are picking up trash in other locations and cleaning out the caboose…all with smiles on their faces!
8th Grade – Day 2 (pt2)
These 8th graders can’t be stopped! Yesterday, they built a trail. Today they are serving those who protect and serve by washing police cars. They are having a blast! This is a fun way to thank our first responders. Tomorrow, we will join up with another 8th grade group and wash more cars at another police station.

8th Grade – Day 2 (pt1)
Our 8th grade boys went back to Capitol School today. They cleaned out the sport court and playscapes. They also did some landscaping, filling up more than 20 bags of yard debris!

The students were very excited to play basketball on a fresh court!

As a team leader, I enjoyed watching the boys dig in and work hard on the second day. It can be challenging to work diligently when you’re tired and worn out, but these boys stayed strong and got the job done!
