Student Leaders at
Garfield Park
|
|||
|
On Saturday, October 23, 1999, Student Leaders traveled to Garfield Park Conservatory, located on Chicago's west side, to participate in a community project. This effort was part of the nationwide observance of Make a Difference Day! (Double click on an image for a larger view.) |

This year our task for the day was to clean and beautify a vacant lot near the Conservatory. |

We were joined in our efforts by community activists. Our efforts even inspired a couple of residents who lived next door to the vacant lots to join in the cleanup. |

The Conservatory is working with the community to beautify the surrounding community. |

| Thank you volunteer parents! | Finished! Twenty bags of debris was collected and mulch was spread over 2/3 of the property! | ||

|
After a morning of hard work, we went back to the Conservatory for lunch and a discussion about the importance of the project we just completed. |
|||
 |
 |
 |
 |
| After lunch we were given a private tour of the Conservatory. | |||

 |
| We returned home exhausted, but confident we had made a difference! | |||
