My Project

A donation of Spectracide Fire Ant Shield Yard Protection Granules will provide essential protection for our elementary students during their gardening activities. Gardening offers students valuable hands-on learning opportunities, but the presence of fire ants can pose a safety risk. By using these granules, we can effectively manage fire ant populations around the garden, ensuring a safe environment where students can explore plant science without the worry of insect bites. This donation will help maximize the educational experience, allowing students to focus on learning and growing in a secure, bite-free space.
