Chumuckla Elem. Adopted for Beautification Project

Leadership Santa Rosa Adopts Chumuckla Elementary School for Beautification Project

Jay, Florida   October 14, 2011

A team from Leadership Santa Rosa will be at Chumuckla Elementary School on Saturday, October 15, 2011 to continue the work they began a week ago. The team will be making many changes to the grounds, including a floral garden and picnic area under the oaks. Members of Chumuckla Elementary’s faculty and staff plan to be on campus on Saturday, to help with the work and show their appreciation to the team.

Leadership Santa Rosa is a program of the Santa Rosa County Chamber of Commerce, launched in 1984-85 to prepare participants for leadership roles in the community. The program is directed by the Leadership Executive Committee with the aid of the Chamber staff. Participants explore the issues, problems and opportunities facing Santa Rosa County and Northwest Florida today and in the future. An objective of the program is to develop camaraderie and a team spirit that will provide a common ground for working together on present and future community needs.

It has become a tradition for Leadership classes to be actively involved in the community through a charitable or social project during the class year. Previous classes helped, for example, build or finance homes for Habitat for Humanity, held fundraisers for the Santa Rosa Veterans’ Memorial Plaza, or participated in beautification efforts such as the Great American Clean-Up Day.
