MONDAY-A DAY
SUMMIT GARDEN CLUB
Our spring and summer seasons are fast approaching! All 6th and 7th grade students are welcome at Garden Club and are welcome to join us at any point. Garden Club is a great opportunity for students, even with no “green thumb” experience!
Come and learn gardening basics, make and be with friends, and spend time outside while getting your hands in the dirt– all while making a difference in your community! The plants we grow and care for this spring will turn into the vegetables we will donate to the Johnston Partnership this summer!
We meet Thursdays from 2:50-3:30 in Mission Room 129. Students must have transportation home or the ability to get home on foot.
Please contact Allison Barlow with any questions at allison.barlow@johnston.k12.ia.us.
