Congratulations to our 2012 Impact Award Winner

Fort Worth ISD Polytechnic High School Family and Consumer Sciences "Poly's Community Garden"

Vision Becomes Reality!

The award vision statement:
To enhance the usability of an educational space with a permanent enhancement or modification and to impact the community; supporting its involvement in the local education process

The Chapter was honored this week to celebrate this vision becoming reality with our first Impact Award given to Polytechnic High School Family and Consumer Sciences "Poly's Community Garden".

The submittal for Poly's community garden presented a persuasive argument for how their project met our award criteria:

• How will this investment impact the students at the school receiving the award?
• How will this investment impact, encourage and promote future community involvement in the school?
• Long term, how significant is the anticipated result from this investment?

Representing Fort Worth ISD in accepting the award were:

• Art Cavazos, Chief of District Operations
• Tobi Jackson, Board Member District 2
• Daniel Scroggins, Polytechnic High School Principal

There is a clear and strong vision to have this become a 'community garden' as well as a school project which is incredibly powerful. The development of the project is planned to be executed by students and the surrounding community over the next school year. We look forward to seeing the impact Poly's Community Garden makes in the Polytechnic High School Community as the chapter visits next year to see the results!
