Our Fourth Graders Grow Collards!

Farmers Grow Rural Education, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, helps farmers positively impact their communities by supporting local school districts. The program gives farmers the opportunity to nominate a rural public school district in their community to compete for merit-based grants of either $10,000 or $25,000 to enhance math and/or science education. Since 2011, over $7 million has been awarded to school districts through this program. In 2016, the program will be available in 1,326 counties across 40 states, and grants totaling $2.3 million will be awarded. Florence School District Three won a $10,000 grant. Florence District Three Math/Science Coaches along with other members of our district got together last May and wrote this grant for each of the 4 elementary schools. This project ties into our 4^th grade science standards. Our 4^th graders will be responsible for caring for and collecting data on the plants. This project will last until November/December. Our goal is to plant and harvest the tastiest collard greens and eventually have a cook-off with the culinary students from LCHS. We will have different speakers from the community each month as well as attend different field experiences.
