Monsignor Edward Pace High School is a private Catholic school with over 1,200 students. The student body is richly diverse with Hispanics, African-Americans, Asians, and newly added an ESE Department among others. Although the school is predominantly Catholic, some of the students are of other religious traditions, and for that reason the garden is designed to showcase several different religious traditions such as Christianity, Buddhism and Shintoism.

This year’s District 5170 International Project will be within the Rotary family, minimizing the dollars used on administrative costs – in other words, every penny of your money will be spent helping the needy! We will be fundraising for three projects on three continents, spreading our love farther than ever before. The first continent we will hit is Africa. Last year, we were able to donate mosquito nets and toys to a village in Ghana. This year, we will partner up with Rotaractors in Ghana to build and furnish a school – from scratch – for a village.

The Missouri Arts Olympiad is a project that got its start at an unlikely place -- a Science Olympiad competition. The idea struck that youth in the arts and humanities have limited exposure to competitions, awards, and prize money for their accomplishments and talents, unlike their science-oriented peers.

Northeast High did not have a recycling program at the school, so the Northeast Ecology club contacted the Recycling department of Broward and bought bins and placed them around the school. Every Tuesday and Thursday, volunteers go around to collect the bins, and take them to the recycling bins, where they are picked up Wednesdays and Fridays.Our next steps are to go to the elementary school down the street, and try to get a recycling program started there, and educate them about recycling and environment.Our club site: http://www.freewebs.com/hug_a_tree1

The Live Oak Wrestling club is a creation of a newer and brighter opportunity for students in 6th to 12th grade. The sport of wrestling is growing in the area and this gives them an opportunity to join a sport which can mentally and physically prepare them for life. It is one of only three programs like this in the city area and provides the experience needed with 5 coaches and enough experience to give any child the chance to excel.

The Oakland Public School District is in dire need of attention. The students "Go Dumb!", the faculty makes little money, and the drop out rate is atrocious.
I am a Junior at Oakland Tech. My colleagues and I are creating a tour to gain the attention of the students and the attention of the adults.

Every school day, CHS students are transported to or from school either by bus or car. CHS runs a fleet of about 20 buses to transport bus riders from both CHS and CMS to thier homes. Each bus runs on either gasoline or diesel and most buses are more than 15 years old, making thier emissions high. The Clean Fuel initiative, sponsored by CHS EcoAction (http://chs.ecoactiononline.org) will work to change our current transportation.
