Thank you, Austin, for your incredible work restoring a school pavilion at the IS/MS building as part of your Eagle Scout project! Your dedication to our school and community is truly inspiring.
Here's what Austin had to say about the project: "Hello, my name is Austin Lawhorne and I was asked by Mr. Potteiger to fix a pavilion on the school grounds that had been damaged by a fallen tree. I accepted, without hesitation, as I was looking for an Eagle Scout project at the time. I cut down the tree, fixed the roof, and cleaned up the area. I am so glad that I was asked to do this project, as this school means a lot to me and being asked by the Superintendent to do a project for the school and the community, means a lot."--Austin
