New Project:
Intern Linda Vale is keeping gardens fresh in the minds of students over the winter. Linda is creating pop-up stations at State Road and Hamilton/SOTA I Elementary school libraries. We’re hoping to get one at Hintgen soon. Topics include creatures in the gardens, vegetables, life cycles and more.
Check them out and take them home over the break.
Thank you Linda.
