2003 Class Project
Planting Seeds for Beautification and Pride!The class of 2003 has two projects that go hand-in-hand with their pride in Schuylkill County. "Y Schuylkill?" looks at Schuylkill County through pictures, and the "Gateway Beautification Project" entails planting wildflowers along major roads in the county.
"Y Schuylkill?" is chaired by class member Edward Redding and consists of more than 200 photos taken by class members depicting myriad values found in Schuylkill County to promote awareness and pride among its residents. The photos are shown in a seven-minute Flash Media presentation, which is available as a CD that can be shown in schools, at group presentations and used by the Schuylkill County Visitors Bureau. If you would like to acquire a "Y Schuylkill" CD, please contact Lori Kane.
The Schuylkill Leadership "Gateway Beautification Project", chaired by class member Debra Herring, strives to improve the aesthetic qualities of the major gateways into the county. This is accomplished by designing, implementing and further fostering the creation of beautiful areas of wildflowers along major roads. The pilot site will be space near the Mount Carbon jug-handle on Route 61. The class will create a detailed program guide so that other county organizations can easily replicate the project and expand to other sites. Members will promote the project throughout the year to organizations that may be interested in making a small roadside area in their community more beautiful with lovely wildflowers, making the overall appearance of Schuylkill County more welcoming and attractive.
