Christ Together Greater Austin, Austin Bridge Builders Alliance, and Eco Club organizations are teaming up to sponsor the Love Where You Live day. LWYL is an event where people come together to beautify an area within their community, and this time around they’ve decided to work on the courtyard and campus.

“On Sunday, from 9 to 12, we are going to be refurbishing the garden area in front of the cafeteria,” president Abby Glenn said. “Currently, the garden is a tad unhappy, trash is being thrown on the grounds, and people are constantly trampling through the grass. With the help of Rouse students, we can renovate and rebuild this area into a new wildflower garden.”

The intention is to plant a butterfly garden in the courtyard and cultivate native plants within the grounds.

“The abundance of wildflowers planted in this garden will also create a home for butterflies,” Glenn said. “With the love and care from Rouse students, this garden will flourish and be a representation of our love for the area we live in. You can even bring your own seeds to plant in the garden.”

Students are encouraged to attend and bring friends to help out Eco Club. But ultimately this club has set its sights on helping the environment and make a difference in the world.

“As students of Rouse, we should be working in unity to make this school the best it can be,” Glenn said. “Rouse High School strives everyday to help students grow and prosper. I believe, as students of this school, we should help Rouse grow and prosper in return.”

If you’d like to join Eco Club, there’s a meeting during advocate on Nov. 3.
