My Project

My students are some of the sweetest people you would ever hope to meet. They are inquisitive, love to talk, and are always down to try new things.

We need cleaning supplies to keep our classroom fresh and clean and the planters will help scholars experiment with gardening.

We have been learning about natural resources and recently read a book about a school garden, and Explorers were so excited to share what they would plant! We heard cabbage, collard greens, blueberries, rainbow flowers.....the list goes on and on. I would love to be able to surprise them with an experiential learning opportunity.
