Jefferson Elementary creates a new School Garden and a new Garden Club!

The Jefferson Garden Club, led by 5th grade teachers Ellen Thore and Kirsten Joseph, sponsored a plant sale to raise money for their new gardens.



After raising $87 in plant sales, materials were purchased and three new gardens have been established at Jefferson Elementary School.



Gardens will be planted within the next two weeks and students hope to continue spreading plant wealth and knowledge within the community! 







Administrators are very supportive!
Jefferson’s Principal Cathy Batts says “I am so excited about this project!  Thank you for your hard work.  Wouldn’t you like to join forces with 4th grade
next year???”
Donna Harper Asst Principal: This is absolutely wonderful!!  Thank you for making learning engaging and fun for the students!!
