Facing the Problem of Flooding The problem of flooding in the courtyard has become a significant issue, causing many students to avoid entering the courtyard. To fix this problem, we plan to install permeable pavers in the western portion of the courtyard and level out the ground to direct water towards the sewer drain.

Funding Most of the items needed to accomplish this are common items like cleaning spray that can be bought easily, with small fundraisers. However, permanent things such as gardening tools will have to be paid for. To solve this, we will do school bake sales and make a go fund me page for people to donate money. We also would increase the price of to join clubs from 75 to 76$. Our goal: $8500 by the start of the school year 2020
