Work on the Ranch

This was a mixture of students from Cesar Chavez After School Service Club from Greer Middle and Galt Area Youth Coalition subcommittee of Youth L.E.A.D. ( Youth Leading, Energizing, Aspiring, and Dedication) from Arcohe, New Hope and Galt School Districts.

Diana Alvarez and Juana Valencia enjoying the McFarland Ranch in Galt.

After the hard work, the students relax, eat, talk with friends and make new ones.  These are good friends Diana Alvarez (11 at Greer) and Juana Valencia (13 at Greer) resting while they tell about the jobs that they did.

Chris B (11 at Valley Oaks) is picking up litter to make the place cleaner and neater.  He is a hard worker.

Amanda Griffin is using this homemade magnet to pick up nails at the McFarland Ranch in Galt

This was a lawnmower that is now converted to hold a powerful magnet.  By pushing it around the parking lot, hundreds of nails get picked up.  This helps prevent flat tires.  Amanda Griffin is 11 and goes to school at Greer on the west side of Galt.

The garden was one of the projects that these students attended to with vigor.  Desiree Maldonado is 11 and goes to Greer Middle School in Galt.

Kalyn Farmer is 12 at Greer and is getting ready to enjoy her snacks after an afternoon of work.  I think that she likes her dad.
