My 5th graders last year got to observe and study the growth of plants. They also researched different recipes that went with their plant of choice for when they brought the plant home. The school is working with the Boys and Girls club to bring in planter boxes and a green house to help launch the whole school gardening project. Thanks to people like you, we are able to get students out of the building and their hands in the dirt! thank you to Ripple for matching donations and helping make this possible. The students loved getting to start a plant from seed. I know the staff and students are excited for this spring when the gardening will really take off.
