Guardian Growers

Guardian Growers is a devoted community of individuals and families, led by the school's land manager, Randon Dufrene, committed to nurturing our campus at John Paul the Great Academy. Guided by the mission "Growing fruits of the garden and of the Spirit," we unite in maintaining and enhancing outdoor spaces to foster both physical beauty and spiritual growth. Together, we engage in tasks such as cleaning, landscaping, and basic carpentry, offering flexible participation options that suit each family's availability and interests. Through our collaborative efforts, we can create a captivating, and spiritually uplifting environment, elevating students' well-being and academic experience. Emphasizing community bonds and sustainability, we celebrate collective accomplishments and practice eco-friendly methods, instilling in our children the values of stewardship and reverence for nature. Guardian Growers warmly welcomes individuals and families seeking meaningful connections and a shared sense of purpose, inviting them to embark on a fulfilling journey of cultivating both landscape and the spirit of our classically Catholic campus, and together, leaving behind a lasting legacy of beauty, love, and faith.

By inspiring a sense of community, accentuating the positive impact on students, and nurturing ownership and pride, families are motivated to "adopt" specific areas on the school campus for regular maintenance. Offering flexible commitment options, celebrating collective efforts, and showcasing captivating visual transformations, this initiative ignites families to actively participate, fostering resilient family bonds and a flourishing environment. With the full support of the school administration, the Adopt an Area Initiative gains significance, culminating in a thriving school campus that epitomizes community engagement, empowers student well-being, and embraces a collective spirit of responsibility.
