Under the direction of Mme O'Dell and Mme White a portion of our grades 4,5, and 6 students have taken on the responsibility of growing and maintaining various plants in our Greenhouse.
They are also responsible for taking care of the various plants planted in our outdoor gardens. These include such vegetables as cabbage, carrots, turnip, zucchini, pumpkins, as well as strawberries and various perennial flower gardens.
The Green Thumbs also meet regularly to discuss environmental issues such as Climate Change and how they can do their part to help minimize greenhouse gases. They also take a leadership role in educating our student body on these issues through their bulletin board displays and during school assemblies.
