Since January, ten 4th grade students from the High Point Elementary student council have been participating in the Junior Master Gardener Program “Learn, Go, Eat, Grow” and the Sustainable Forrest Initiative Project Learning Tree curriculum.

These lessons were facilitated by Grimes County Extension Agents and Grimes County Master Gardeners.

Materials and supplies were made possible by a grant received by Grimes County 4-H from the Texas 4-H Youth Development Foundation in support of curriculum enrichment.

Today, we celebrated our volunteers and students with refreshments and recognition. We wish everyone a safe and relaxing summer!
