Like a Red, Red Rose by Rondi Aastrup · 365 Project
Since my school is a boarding school, we had to "have" school on Monday, Martin Luther King Day. We honored King's memory by doing various service projects throughout Scottsdale and Phoenix. Some groups went to elementary schools and cleaned up the playgrounds or worked in classrooms with teachers. Other groups cleaned up nearby streets and parks, and three groups stayed at school. My group worked in the neglected rose garden and three other flower beds on campus. It was hard but satisfying work. I rescued several of the roses we had to clip for my classroom. They are beautiful and smell heavenly!
One of my students took the photos of the roses before their trimming. You'll notice in the one where the boy is clipping how neglected the beds really were. They look infinitely better now!
