2010 PROJECTS AND PHOTOS

Jonathan Jennings Elementary, IPS #109

Finishing up a multi-year project, KIB worked with IMPD's Youth Mentoring Program and volunteers from RCI and KB Parrish at this northwest side elementary school to build an outdoor classroom, plant trees and perennials and build a gravel walking path for students getting on the buses. 

E. 10th United Methodist Church

Working with volunteers from State Farm, we were able to plant and harvest vegetables in the community garden, build 3 picnic tables and build a platform for a rain barrel to help with water the garden. 

Early Learning Center at Brook Park

Over the course of 2 workdays, volunteers from Sandor Development Company and Eli Lilly, worked on the grounds, built racks for boots, hung outdoor chalkboards and constructed a planter bench shade structure.

Irvington Community School

Located in the heart of Irvington, this charter school has worked with KIB for several years.  This fall, with help from Sharp volunteers, built an outdoor classroom as the final piece of the puzzle. 

St. Joan of Arc Community Garden

In it's 2nd year as a community garden, the neighbors have really taken off with this project and KIB has seen responsibilities shift from us to them.  This year focused on growing the size of the garden as well as implementing education for the children.
