"Growing in Greatness" is the title I used for the bulletin board at Frederick Elementary School. On Sept 8th & 9th, the school sent over classes of kids to help learn about gardening, harvesting, participate in community service projects, and get some hands-on education. I think all goals were achieved. They picked over 600 tomatoes! We had over 100 kids each day walk from the school to the garden. Almost 3 weeks later and these kids are still talking about the garden. I walked into the school the other day and a child said, "hey, you are the garden lady". That isn't a name I thought I would ever be called! What an amazing experience we were able to provide for these kids....starting this young, these kids will be growing in greatness as they learn to give back to the community how ever they can!
This picture is blurry, but gives you an idea as the kids walked down the road!
