BVMS Garden Club
For the past two years I have been running an afterschool club involving gardening and campus beautification. I am looking to expand the number of raised beds our students have to work in. Much of what we've attempted to plant directly in ground ends up eaten. Raised beds will help ensure greater success rates for our students. Thank you for your consideration! We have one main garden area, but space is limited for the number of students who have been attending the club.

Build a garden trellis for City Hieghts/Weingart Branch of SDPL
The City Heights/Weingart Branch of San Diego Public Library has a new Children's Sensory Garden and we'd like to add a trellis. This wooden trellis would support the vines of blackberry bushes and other plants as well as provide an architectural element in the garden.

Beach Volleyball Court Renovation and Expansion at Clairemont High School
Clairemont High School currently boasts three beach volleyball courts, which serve as a crucial venue for its growing volleyball program. However, these courts require significant renovation due to wear and tear, and there is a pressing need to expand the facility to accommodate the increasing demand for the sport among students. The San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) has indicated that funding for such projects is not available, making this initiative vital for the school's athletic program.
Objectives:
Renovation of Existing Courts: The existing courts will undergo comprehensive refurbishment to address issues such as uneven surfaces, worn-out nets, and faded boundary lines. This will ensure a safer and more professional playing environment for student athletes.
Expansion and Rearrangement: Utilizing available space adjacent to the current courts, we propose the expansion of the facility to include additional courts. This expansion may also involve a strategic rearrangement of the existing layout to optimize space and functionality.
Construction of New Courts: Depending on feasibility and budget, the project aims to construct additional beach volleyball courts to meet the growing demand. This will provide more opportunities for students to actively participate in matches and practices, reducing reliance on alternative venues like grass courts.
Rationale:
The popularity of beach volleyball among Clairemont High School students has outgrown the current capacity of the courts. Many students are unable to participate in matches or training sessions due to limited court availability, often resorting to less ideal grass courts. By enhancing and expanding the beach volleyball facility, we aim to promote inclusivity and provide adequate resources for all student athletes to fully engage in the sport.
Benefits:
Improved Athletic Experience: Upgraded and expanded courts will enhance the overall experience for student athletes, promoting skill development and competitive spirit.
Community Engagement: A revitalized beach volleyball facility will foster community engagement by attracting more spectators and increasing participation in school events.
Long-Term Sustainability: By investing in durable materials and efficient design, the project ensures that the facility remains functional and attractive for years to come, benefiting future generations of Clairemont High School students.
Conclusion:
The proposed beach volleyball court renovation and expansion project at Clairemont High School represents a significant opportunity to enhance the school's athletic facilities and support the growing interest in beach volleyball among students. Through careful planning, community involvement, and diligent execution, we aim to create a lasting impact that benefits current and future generations of student athletes.
Fundraising efforts and volunteer recruitment will play a crucial role in financing and executing the renovation. A dedicated team of volunteers, including fellow Scouts and community members, will assist in the implementation of the project under the guidance of project leaders and adult supervisors.

Pass the Bricks
Pass the Bricks is a non-profit organization, where ambassadors operate independently across the world to collect used LEGO bricks, clean them, and redistribute to them to kids in their respective communities.

We would love help cleaning, sorting, creating sets, and finding organizations in the community that need sets for the people they serve.
