Scene 3
18 (The following day, the STUDENTS gather alongside the damaged portion of the school where the garden is supposed to be. They are armed with shovels, gardening gloves, and enthusiasm.)
19ELI: Alright, team, let’s do this! We have a garden to save.
20JENNA: Remember, we need to work together and follow Mr. Torres’ instructions carefully. We don't want to make any mistakes.
21 (The STUDENTS begin digging and planting, carefully arranging the plants in their designated spots.)
22BROOKE: It's amazing how therapeutic gardening can be. I feel like we're not only helping the school, but also the environment.
23MARTY: Definitely. Plus, I'm learning so much about different plants and how to take care of them properly.
24ELI: And think about the impact this garden will have on the ecosystem around us. It will attract more birds, bees, and butterflies, making our school a healthier and more beautiful place.
25JENNA: It will also serve as a reminder that even though setbacks occur, we can always find a way to overcome them with teamwork and determination.
26 (As the STUDENTS continue to work, MR. TORRES walks around, inspecting their progress.)
27MR. TORRES: I am so proud of all of you. Not only are you saving our garden, but you're also showcasing the importance of environmental stewardship and resilience.
28BROOKE: Thank you, Mr. Torres. This has been a rewarding experience for all of us.
29ELI: Yeah, it's amazing what can happen when we come together for a common cause.
30MARTY: Definitely beats sitting in a classroom all day.
31JENNA: (Smiling) And hey, maybe we can start a gardening club at school too. I don't want this to be the end of our journey.
32MR. TORRES: I think that's a fantastic idea, Jenna. Let's keep the spirit of this garden alive and continue to make a difference in our school and community.
33 (The STUDENTS cheer and go back to work, their determination and enthusiasm radiating as they reshape the damaged portion of the school into a vibrant garden.)
