We all love it when the school bus arrives on Wednesday and the student volunteers run, uh, speed-walk at maximum speed into the Grandstand to start working on the plant sale.
Their main jobs are to unload the trucks, figure out where each plant goes and put it there, water the plants, help shoppers, and clean up when the sale is over. These are real jobs, not busy work! These jobs require skill, strength, speed, common sense, perseverance, focus, teamwork, tact, and sometimes a little arithmetic. Thanks, kids, you were all great!
What a great experience for those children!! I only wish we would have had the same opportunities as kids, perhaps I would be able to keep my lawn alive now
That actually looks like a cool program. When I was a kid I worked on a farm. Then the Government stepped in and made it illegal for kids to work. Crazy. I get how a kid shouldn’t be a laborer to support their family, but working at a young age opens up the reality of what life is about later on.
good to see the kids being green fingered
