Brothers Jesse and Ridge Homer, both members of Troop 192, recently completed Eagle Scout projects aimed at enhancing the experience within Norwell Public Schools.
Jesse Homer, 17, a senior at Norwell High School, finished his project last September, presenting a custom buddy bench to the Cole School and the Vinal School for their outside areas. Painted in Norwell blue and gold, colorful handprints and featuring the words of Dr. Maya Angelou, “Be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud,” the benches are designed to encourage inclusivity and empathy on the playground.
Ridge Homer, 16, a sophomore at Norwell High School, completed his project in April. Ridge revitalized an outside area of the school’s property which had become overgrown. Nestled among trees, he identified the space and revitalized it as the new Outdoor Clipper Classroom, a nature space for classes and groups to meet.
