In this image, the two top pictures are a sketch of how the team wanted the top of the cafeteria to look like. The bottom image is currently how the cafeteria looks like on sketch-up. The team is in the process of adding the garden on the rooftop. On the rooftop, the team wants to put three flower gardens, one waterfall, two benches, and four gazebo. The water in the fountain will mostly be from rainwater, and the fountain will be one water source that will water the garden. The garden will be a community garden, allowing people from all around the community to come, help out in the garden, and teach the students good gardening skills. The team will also place palm trees around the cafeteria for a more welcoming environment.

Tracee Brooks, EIS-- I really enjoy the way your team is including a community garden. Will the garden be covered to protect the area from heavy rains? Your team is progressing nicely. Good work!
Excellent way of bringing in the community but when it doesn't rain for extended periods will the waterfall also stay dry or be filled again by the school if it is what waters the plants. Elite Innovative Solutions - Mitchell Zaborski

Very nice ideea, ladies! Looking foword to more pictures of your sketchup!!!! And also for the students' safety are the walls on the roof high enough?
To Tracee Brooks- We will not have an extra covering for the rooftop. The gazebos roof will protect from water getting into the gazebo, but we will not have an extra covering for the entire roof.
To Mitchell Zaborski- Yes, the school will fill the fountain if it ever goes dry. The plants will always be watered.
To Priscilla Vincze- More pictures will be posted in the next couple of days, the walls on the roof are a little over three feet, which meets the requirements for the students' safety.
