Edward Hoggard, Stella Smith,Dalia Perez, Katie Hernandez Martinez SCHOOL BEAUTIFICATION Our group issue is beautifying Martin Middle School; we will do a few projects around the school to make it more colorful and appealing. We are going to make Martin a brighter place for the students and the teachers. The issue around Martin Middle School is the lacking amount of art. Martin Middle is known for our performing arts and gifted and talented program; but all the art is outdated and peeling. We are going to fix this issue! This affects the students at MMS because it feels gloomy and sad, so we don't feel motivated to learn because of the feel of the school. The wake county school program is short twenty four million dollars so jobs like ground maintenance might get cut, and school supplies that are not necessities. (Keung Hui, 2017) Martin middle has 8 glass cases with little artwork or none in them but most of the art is from the early 2000s. There is also lots of blank walls. Our group is interested in this project because we want to have a better learning experience and a brighter school for us and the people who come to martin after us. I think teachers will also like what we're doing because they've seen the art for so long so they might want something new and bright. Also other students will like this because our group was talking to other students and they agreed how bland our school is like a blank canvas. We are going to solve this problem. The art teachers at Martin Middle do change some of the art every year and i think we should change the art cases too. Also add some art on to the walls. We would get in contact with the art club and they could make the majority of the art. The art club would be making lots of different colorful things from paintings to pottery, also the art teachers ( including stella’s mask making) would be picking out art from there art classes. But we will also save some of the art in the cases to also show the old, and new feel of martin. The art cases with nothing in them have been here since i came in 6th grade so it is time to fix this problem. This lack of art makes Martin Middle School not as fun and plain, and the students wanted a better learning experience. The art club have done multiple projects to brighten up the school. Also East Millbrook Middle School has also beautified their school; Such as painting walls, planting in gardens, made custom mosaic, and weeded the gardens. East Wake Middle School had a day of service. They painted inspirational quotes on the hallways. A lots of schools in our community are trying to brighten up their school. There still needs to be help because there are other schools in our community that need help from a lot to a little help. Help will always be needed, We need this help because schools and wake county only have a certain amount of money and the majority of that government money can be funded for schools. People are also helping out by joining the PTA or donating money to schools and also volunteering to help or brighten up the school. Some people are helping out such as Ellen degeneres and Justin Bieber donating $50,000 to a elementary school in Detroit. Some people are really helping out in the community by doing anything they can, because any little detail will help. (Remi Merhi, 2016) We will start with asking the teachers if they want to keep any of the art in the cases, after that we will take most of the old art. Then we will ask the art club and art teachers to have some art or ask them to make some, also making some are own. Then we will make a fundraiser and donation box to gather money for the paint. After that we will gather all the 8th grade students who would want to put their hand on the wall and make a schedule of who would put their hands on the wall at what times. Are fundraiser would be GoFundMe and asking to put a donation box in martin. This would be fun for students to do because if they put their handprint on the walls at martin they would make the school prettier and always be a part of Martin Middle School. Our goal is to make Martin a better and brighter place for the students who come after us to let them have a even better experience than we did. We are also trying to be apart of martin when we go and be a project people remember by brightening up the school. We are trying to make Martin middle school a better place.
