Eagle Project:
Jim greatly expanded the "new" (backside) main entrance to St. Agnes School, laying a complex concrete pad, outlining with brick walls, and re-landscaping the adjacent garden areas. The new entrance is much safer for students to exit in any emergency situation, and also provides a much larger "safe area" for students to wait on during car-pool pickups each afternoon. [The work complements Matt Cassidy's Eagle Project, and between the two projects the new entrance has been completely renovated.] Approximately 376 Man-Hours of work.

Jim has been accepted to and is currently considering attending Dickinson, Notre Dame, or St. Michaels (in Vermont).

Thanks to the Board of Review members John Kelly, Ruth Netting, Max Padon, Brian Preloh, and Mark Stanga.
