Upon receiving the requested materials, their eyes lit up. They immediately began putting the greenhouse together and started a plan as to what seeds they would be starting first. Through their excitement, this group of students was invited to a district level pitch for up to $1,000. By using the materials in this project, our group was able to place second out of those participating. \r\n\r\nI have seen these students overcome so much in the short amount of time our club has been active, they have learned so many new skills and tried different foods. As a teacher and club advisor, I cannot thank you all enough for your support.
