Aggies for a Cause: Freshman Leaders in Progress Help School in Need

Written by Marketing Intern Roslynn Fitch 

I had an amazing opportunity to travel to Galveston, Texas with 50 other Aggies from Freshmen Leaders in Progress to assist some schools in need. 

We made the two-hour drive to Galveston on Friday evening, with hopes that we would be able to make a substantial impact. We headed to three different job sites on Saturday morning, all located at elementary and middle schools. 

One project helped in the transition of a more up-to-date system for their literacy library. Another hauled mulch so that the school could revamp their butterfly garden. The last site, the one I was at, had us tear down an overgrown garden area and pull out all the weeds so that the middle school could have a garden for their special needs program. It was an incredible experience to witness so many Aggies selflessly serving, so that these children could have an enjoyable and fulfilling learning experience.

Here are some before and after shots of the site I was working on:
