School Beautification Introduction School beautification is making schools a better, cleaner environment for students and staff.The issue is schools being dirty, unorganized, or plain/ boring. These qualities can distract students from learning, or make them less interested in their learning center. This affects all the students and teachers in our community by motivating the citizens to get out and help build a better learning society. (Palms Middle School) I am personally interested in this cause because I know what affects a good learning society can have on you. My whole life I have been so fortunate to have a great school to go to every day. Both my middle and elementary schools were clean, neat, and well taken care of. This has given me a reason to want to learn more and more to get into a good college. Studies have shown that the niceness of a learning environment can motivate someone to try and work harder for what they want. Everyone should care about the issue. Issue: We decided to do school beautification to make our school environment/community better.This issue affects the learning environment and future of all students. It gives them a challenge inside school and in the classroom. It has been an issue in the community for awhile, research has stated that if a students are in a good environment than they have a better chance of learning new things and doing work, than in a bad environment. “Schools in better physical condition report improved academic performance while schools with fewer janitorial personnel and higher maintenance backlogs report poorer academic performance,” (EPA, 2017) School beautification is a problem in the community because some people may not be getting the education they need or may have some negative attributes in their community or environment. The causes of school beautification, schools with a better physical condition reports confirm that they improved their academics while a school with few janitorial personal and maintenance backlogs report worse academic performance. If school beautification isn’t taken care of, than I think that there would be fewer people with good academics and a good environment. Solution School beautification, many have done something to help this issue like helping in the garden or making gardens and things like adding on to the school with garden or extra additions to the school or extra school activities. They also make pathways and artistic things like murals, or turning things like a courtyard somewhere where you can go work they also use it for classwork, In one (School Beautification)school they have created a pond and made it for dwellings for insects and animals to live in. Some schools even make butterfly habitats for butterflies to use until they want to leave or come out of there cacone,like in Brookwood Elementary they had built an elevated pond to indicate a place for animals and insects and plants to live and create a habitat. School beautification is very important and still needed today for better environments and better learning surroundings and a good and fun experience to learn and have fun outdoors or in the school with murals or emotion lifting things that make you wanna be here and learn more. As a middle schooler having fun is very limited and I want to have fun and learn and be able to have fun and work and have school beautification in our school. Conclusion We as a community or a school can help in many different ways ,but, our idea is to create a mural somewhere in the school to brighten students and staffs’ day. This mural can be painted by eighth grade students only to make it more personal. First, I would ask for permission of Mrs. Peckham to do this. I would then ask Ms. Bennet for some help planning and some artistic ideas and tips. After we get the go ahead, I would ask our student council to ask students for ideas for our murals theme. then I would make sure we have a fundraiser to get supplies in order to make this mural. After all of that is taken care of, I would ask our eighth grade student body to vote on where to paint this mural. Then, we would let students who are interested in art sign up to help paint this mural. This mural would help make our school a prettier learning society that could motivate students to learn more and come to school. Our community would be proud to have a nice looking learning center that people actually like to go to. Many schools across the nation are not as nice or clean as some of the schools that we are so fortunate to have. This gives them better education opportunities at younger ages. Our goal is to brighten and make a better learning community, brighting staff and students day would be a great way to make a good learning environment me as a person when i’m happy I work harder and want to have fun and do more so by brightening there day we can make a better learning community, I think I would know if I reached my goal if people realized and recognized our mural and were amazed and happy to see something in the hall like this, by teachers and people that see it will be amazed and say something and recognize it it would be achieved our goal of making people happy and brightening their learning environment would be amazing.
