Calling All Green Thumbs!
Do you like dirt?
How about worms?
Flowers?

The STEAM Team is looking for more hands to play in the dirt. If you are willing to learn along with the students, we want YOU!
There will be an Informational Meeting on Wednesday, September 6th at 4:30pm in the STEAM room. We will begin with a tour of our growing grounds. Then we will cover tasks and jobs that need to be addressed in order for the popcorn, veggies, fruits and flowers to flourish.
Green Thumbs Unite!
