Starting Another Garden – Ground Works Style
Today, Friday, October 2, 2015 we recognize the students and teachers at McGovern Middle School.
With the introduction of a teaching garden through Ground Works-Midwest, this prorgam has brought the kids out of the classroom and into the dirt. From seed to harvest students are taught sustainability, how to be a provider and they get to say, "I helped build that!"
Ground Works-Midwest will have their public launching of the McGovern Middle School teaching garden at 1:30 pm at the McGovern Middle School in Sioux Falls.
Included in the event will be a recognition of Ann McGovern, daughter of the late Senator George McGovern, sharing of words on behalf of the McGovern family, student led music performance, a student representative from Dell Rapids Elementary, “passing forward the gift” of seeds and plant starts from their teaching garden, and a Native American Blessing.
We hope to see you for this wonderful event. If you have questions, please call Cindy Heidelberger Larson 605-201-5549 or email: cindyaheidelbergerlarson@gmail.com
