Grade 11 tech students construct raised planter beds for residents hoping to garden this summer at Finnish Resthome across the street; 'It feels good to help out'
A group of Superior Heights shop students has helped improve the quality of life for residents of the Finnish Resthome across the street.
“I was the lead on it but a lot of students worked on them. There were about 10 students in total,” said Superior Heights Collegiate student Nick Ryan, speaking to SooToday. Ryan and his fellow shop students worked under the supervision of Darren McClelland, Superior Heights technology teacher.“If you can empower them to do something, especially a community project, they get more engaged. They came here and visited the residents, they’ll see these raised planter beds in the gardens and they’ll be proud that they made them. I’m proud of them.”
“One of the first questions we asked the residents in our building is what they would like to see. They said: ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to have raised garden boxes?’”
