	The Top Banana and First Place Winner: The English Learning and Cultural Center ~ Bringing Worlds Together ~ Goals: Create an English Learner Pathway (to ensure success) Designate a Cultural Center to provide language support and opportunities Offer reduce-cost bridge classes (to increase future enrollments)
	Second Place Winner: The Garden Project at Prince Frederick To Create a space where students, staff, and the community can come to learn and grow together. Something that is unique to the garden is the chance, through Farming 4 Hunger, to conduct team building exercises for groups of students, staff, and the community. An average team building experience takes approximately 3 hours and has shown, through research, to improve one another’s view of themselves, others, and the world. The garden has already begun but we want to create a pathway to the garden that's accessible by everyone (see below). Having ADA access to the garden is very important and it allows it to truly be a community garden.
