We experimented with growing avocadoes, mangoes, lemons, and oranges from seeds we collected and we were successful. So, we have now decided to experiment with growing grapevines from grapes! What could go wrong? We're still experimenting. \r\nWe used the prongs to harvest the seeds from our plants that grew this year and the seed envelopes to store our own seeds. \r\nThanks to you we will expand beyond measure and continue learning new ways to grow our food.

Also, the bright paper has given my bulleting board the \"pop\" of color that it needed..especially since we are celebrating Hispanic Awareness month.

Your support has not only improved our physical environment but also shown our students that their comfort and well-being matter.\r\n\r\nFor many students, especially those with sensory sensitivities or conditions like ADHD and autism, fluorescent lighting can be overwhelming and even distracting. Since installing the light covers, we've seen students become more focused, less anxious, and more engaged in classroom activities. Teachers have also shared that the overall tone of the room feels more welcoming and peaceful.

They experienced the pleasure of releasing ladybugs to our garden for the natural environmental benefits of pest control for our garden.
