8th Grade Engineering Gift

Strengths of Holy Cross:

• Very organized class rooms
• There is plenty of side rooms to study in
• The gym is nice
• The technology is great
• The windows open and close

Problems Within Holy Cross:

• The playground doesn't have enough equipment for the older students to enjoy.  They do not get a chance to get there physical activities in because they are bored.  
• The middle school is getting bigger and locker spaces are getting smaller.  Students have to jam all their supplies in to one locker which promotes disorganization.
• In our outdoor property there is not enough areas to be calm, peaceful, and enjoy God's gift of nature which is essential considering the number of kids these days that do not go outside enough.

Solutions to these Problems:

• For older students to enjoy their recess time we could build a tree house or a gaga pit.
  
  
• Since the locker space is getting crammed we could build more lockers or add back pack storage areas in the homerooms of the students.
  
• For students to enjoy nature I believe we could either build an outdoor prayer garden or an outdoor classroom/pavilion for students to learn, grow, and enjoy nature.
