A message from Dylan Jones, Columbia High School student and Tuscan graduate:

I am a Junior at Columbia High School, a Life Scout in Maplewood/South Orange's Boy Scout Troop 60, and a candidate for Eagle Scout for which I have to complete an Eagle project. I have graduated from Tuscan and my sister is graduating this year as she is in 5th grade.

I recently received approvals from Tuscan Elementary School and my scout leaders for my project proposal to improve the landscaping and build a concrete paved seating area in the Courtyard at Tuscan School.
