Eagle Scout Project – Outdoor Classroom at Ormondale Elementary School

It took four days, at least 100 hours of labor, repeated trips to the hardware store and several pages of planning drawings but every bit of effort was worth it when the kids at Ormondale Elementary School in the Portola Valley School District began their school year with an afternoon of journaling in their brand new outdoor classroom. The space by Corte Madera Creek was an Eagle project planned, lead and executed by Luke Zamboldi. It included clearing weeds, building a banister to lead the kids to their spot, setting up redwood rounds for them to sit on, and lining the pathway with branches to lead the way. As with any Eagle project, it took a lot of planning, many volunteers and a few missteps to complete, but that’s all part of the learning.

Cole Kawaja’s Eagle Project

Life Scout Cole Kawaja’s Eagle project was to make sure that unused fruit and vegetables from backyard farms and orchards around Silicon Valley finds its way to food programs. So many homeowners in the area plant vines and trees with the best intentions, then can’t keep up with production and leave fruit to rot on the trees, or the vegetables on the vines. Over the course of several months, Cole located unpicked apples, limes, pears, figs, tomatoes, squash and persimmons in home gardens around Portola Valley, then rallied fellow scouts to help pick and deliver the goods to different distribution centers where they will feed families in need.
