Ashleigh Ours, a Brompton School seventh-grader, designed her own service-learning project to create and deliver flower pots for Brookside Manor residents. This was something that was near and dear to her as her great-grandma is currently a resident on their hospice wing. She sought sponsorships of $20 for each flower pot and has received a total of 47 sponsorships. This was a tremendous task for her as she had to research, plan and budget for the fundraiser. She chose a budget of $15 from the original $20 to get the supplies of pots, flowers, dirt, and decorations. The last $5 went to a nonprofit fund through her Job's Daughter International affiliation called The HIKE FUND, which provides 51°µÍøs of youth financial assistance and the ability to acquire hearing devices for children. She will be sending them a check for $250 this week.
