PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Concerned about the appearance of the school, and in improving it, teachers and students realized
It is necessary to carry out a project that contributes to these aspects.
Through dialogue and commitment from the involvement of the entire school team, the
it was designed to be executed and thus solve the problem.

JUSTIFICATION:

The school unit must be a transformative institution in the society where it operates,
according to the words of Durtcheim. In a rural area, this mission is even more
required, since all social relations of the community revolve around the school,
and in this sense only the exchanges of experiences among everyone will generate ideas and
positive achievements for the people. (NÓVOA: 2004).
Living these experiences, we justify the need to plant trees and grass.
collective leisure areas in our community, as the desire of our students in
the development of various team sports is very large, however there are no structures
physical means to satisfy this longing. Another serious problem is the risk of diseases caused by
in the sun. Once the students practice football games in the sun as well
we carry out Physical Education classes and as we are a community of power
reduced purchasing power, the use of sunscreen is relegated to the background. Aware of the
the importance of sports not only for the body but for an entire vital structure
harmonica, we decided to develop this project and seek partnerships to improve the
environment and life in our school community.
