It has helped to make our garden more beautiful and inviting for classes to come out and enjoy. \r\n\r\nWe received our resources towards the end of the school year last year. We were able to begin this year with many new editions to our garden. Several classes have been able to come out and enjoy having class in the garden already this school year. One class in particular, digital photography, enjoys coming out weekly to snap pictures of all the new improvements. \r\n\r\nStudents from the STMS Beta Club worked with some of our exceptional needs students to paint the rocks and make an inspirational rock garden. All students involved really enjoyed this experience. Each ESE student was paired with a buddy and painted their rocks. The Beta Club buddies were also able to use this time as part of the required service time that they have to have each year.","fullyFundedDate":1746121213994,"projectUrl":"project/if-you-plant-it-they-will-learn/9223526/","projectTitle":"If You Plant It, They Will Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. M.
