a better Atchison

I'm glad to see that the class is on the same page when it comes to making this city into the city we know it could be. I believe our attention for this project definitely needs to be directed towards the youth. We can't have a project that involves only the youth but one that involves people of all ages while focusing mainly on the youth. something like community parties inviting all people to join would be great. Setting an example of friendship towards all people of the community is what we should aim for. If we focus only on the youth for this project, not much of an impact will be made. We need to make the adults of this community aware that the youth of Atchison need to be cared for. By having community wide parties, or a series of parties which slowly draw everyone together, people will begin to see how wonderful Atchison really is.

The strengths of this community need to be brought out of everyone. There is a lot of talent and good natured people who are always left in the dark. People with talent of any kind need to be brought out. Whether it's music, art, dancing, or hobbies, we need to showcase them to the rest of the community. A talent show or art showcase would also be a great way to better this community and draw the people of Atchison closer together.
