The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
I would like to see the Henderson Upper School have a more beautiful landscaped front area so that kids can experience a vibrant nature-scape filled with flowering bushes and plants and as they walk into school.
Who it helps and why
Experiencing natural beauty can relax the mind and reduce stress and the kids who attend Henderson School would benefit from this as they arrive at school in the morning. The surrounding neighborhood would also benefit.
