Garden Class

By Stan Schwartz

The students in Emily Woodall’s third grade gifted class for the RISE—realizing individual scholarship and exceptionalism—program received donated tools from the University of Missouri Extension and the Missouri Department of Social Services through funding from the Administration for Children and Families, which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

MU Extension representative Sarah Woodrow brought the garden tools to the elementary school last Thursday. The students were eager to get the tools and have started making plans on how to use them.

According to Woodall, the RISE program plans to utilize the tools with service learning projects this spring. Additionally, the entire school will be able to use these tools for their outdoor classroom and classroom gardens.
