MLK DAY OF SERVICE PROJECT | ANTIOCH MIDDLE SCHOOL

As we embark on the third phase of our ambitious greenhouse refurbishment project at Antioch Middle School, The Mission Continues is proud to integrate the spirit of service and community engagement that defines our organization. This initiative is part of our MLK Jr. Day of Service to deploy our dedicated veteran-led volunteer force into under-resourced communities across the country in alignment with MLK's Legacy of Service. This year, we welcome new and returning volunteers to leave a #LEGACYOFSERVICE with us. Throughout January, paralleling our national efforts, PLT615 will join service platoons from coast to coast, leading a collective endeavor by hosting impactful projects for veterans and local communities. At Antioch Middle School, we continue this tradition by focusing on sustainable education and environmental stewardship through the greenhouse project. Project Goals: Enhancing Educational Opportunities - Creating a dynamic learning environment for botany, ecology, and sustainability students. Community Engagement - Serving as a platform for collaboration and skill-sharing among veterans, community members, and students. Sustainable Impact - Establishing a lasting educational and environmental resource for the school and the broader community. Activities: -Completing structural enhancements of the greenhouse. -Implementing innovative and energy-efficient systems. -Planting diverse flora and initiating educational programs. Join Us: We invite veterans, community members, and all those passionate about education and sustainability to participate in this enriching project. Your support and involvement are crucial in realizing the vision of this initiative. Let's nurture the future, one plant at a time, while honoring the legacy of service that defines our organization and our commitment to communities.
