Description:  School-wide project in May funded by National City Bank that saw the entire outside landscape of the campus transformed.  Nearly all of the trees, young and mature, were mulched using over 40 cubic yards of mulch.  A mural was painted by students on a west side wall of the building that had previously been riddled with graffiti.  Trash cans were painted school colors and placed along the walkway leading up to the main entrance.  Grass seed was planted in the courtyard on the west side of the campus where major renovation had taken place just a year earlier.
