The Natural Science class
is undertaking phase one of a service learning project
centered around herbs. Students researched various herbs,
planted them and have tended them over the past few
weeks. The intent of the project is to inform people
about herb usage, make them available to people and use
any money generated to begin a fund to build and operate
a small green house in the future which will be phase II
of the project.
