On Thursday, September 26th, seniors from Kearny Digital Media and Design filmed the Taft student collaboration with volunteers from Brummitt Energy Associates and the San Diego Green Building Council in a Green Apple Day of Service. Approximately 40 6-8 graders were matched with 10 volunteers to pull weeds from the existing garden, fill a vertical garden wall in the lunch area with strawberries, lettuce, herbs, and more, and prepare a raised garden in one of the open spaces on campus--all in an effort to build community and engage Taft students in campus beautification. The Kearny students captured the experience on film, interviewing students and volunteers, and will eventually create a documentary that tells the story of this year’s Taft garden project.
