Cunningham Elementary is community a school located in South Austin that is surrounded by a neighborhood, apartments, a women's transition home and a park.  The student body of approximately 420 is 8% African American, 56.3% Hispanic, 26% White, 1% American Indian, 3.3% Asian and 5.6% of students who identify as two or more races.  Approximately 20% of the students are bilingual, and 63% of student families identify as economically disadvantaged. 

Even with determined students and a dedicated staff, there are numerous campus projects that need attention, and that's where InXpress Gives Back comes in.

2.  Assemble a fence (better known as a Bee Corral) around the new Beekeeping Area. 
3.  Clearing and planting a large courtyard that serves as a learning space.
