At Westbury Christian School, our kindergarteners embraced the opportunity to transform a simple patch of dirt into something vibrant and meaningful. This initiative, part of our school’s Project HUG (Hearts Understanding Goodness), empowers our youngest Wildcats to be the hands and feet of Jesus, spreading joy and beauty right here on campus.
While older students take their ministry off-campus, our kindergarteners focus on nurturing their community within school grounds. Their annual mission? Transforming and maintaining the back driveway area, creating a welcoming space for all Wildcat families to enjoy.
A Tree’s Legacy, A New Beginning
For many years, a majestic tree shaded the back driveway, comforting students, staff, and families alike. Over time, however, its roots grew into the plumbing system beneath the Lower School building, forcing the tree’s removal and leaving behind a simple patch of dirt.
In 2022, Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Archer envisioned a way to reclaim and rejuvenate this space. They dreamed of giving kindergarteners ownership of this small piece of campus, teaching them to work with the earth and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Since then, it has been an exciting and cherished project!
Growing More Than Flowers
This year, our kindergarteners will plant Shasta daisy seeds, transforming the bare dirt into a lively flower bed bursting with white blooms. To add a special touch, they’ll surround the garden with river rocks painted in our school colors of blue, yellow, and white.
Beyond beautifying the space, this project cultivates deeper lessons. Working together to plant, nurture, and create teaches our little ones patience, teamwork, and the joy of giving. Each daisy and painted rock reflects their care and creativity.
Thank You for Helping Little Hands
This project isn’t just about flowers and paint. It’s about giving our kindergarten students the chance to learn, grow, and make a difference in their community. Your support makes that possible, and we are so grateful.
