The Paul J. Gelinas Garden Project
This project brought the faculty, staff, students, and community together with one thing in mind, the beautification of Paul J. Gelinas Junior High.  With the funding from a service learning grant, people arrived bright and early with stories of their summer, sipping coffee, and wondering what the day might bring for Gelinas.  As The Gelinas Community came together with their shovels, rakes and yards of soil, we began.  With everyone working side by side, the job was completed.  Below are the pictures from the day's activity.

Directions to Gelinas Junior High School:
Nicholls Road North to end (25A). Turn right at light (heading East) onto 25A. Heading East on 25A, make a Left at FIRST traffic light (North Country Road). At first stop sign, make left onto Ridgeway Avenue. At the fork, bear slightly to the right into Mud Lane. Gelinas JHS is on the right.
