Finally, Leo Johnson spoke on the Eagle Scout project he completed. Leo is also a 10th grader and is a part of the wrestling program. Leo constructed and rebuilt the fire ring at Pax Christi Church. He put in over 200 hours of time and labor into this project and it turned out beautiful. Jason Bidwell, Scout Master, has always told these young men that "they can do it" and to live by the scout laws. Eagle scouts are out in the commuity every day and are always looking to help.
