Did you know the students at Jim Thorpe Academy are growing pumpkins this season? We’re so thankful to Organic REV for partnering with us to make it happen!

🎃 Can you plant pumpkins in Oklahoma...in the middle of July?

The students at Jim Thorpe Academy decided to find out.

Before planting, their pumpkin seeds were soaked overnight in a solution of Organic REV and AMP.

Six days later...

🌱 Every one of the 12 seeds had emerged.

Now the students have a pumpkin patch growing for this fall.

Gardening is about more than growing vegetables.

It's about curiosity.
It's about learning.
It's about giving the next generation the confidence to grow something with their own hands.

We can't wait to see these pumpkins in October. 🎃

The mission is getting closer! Only 2 weeks until the Wolf Pack returns to the halls of Shawnee Public Schools.

Every classroom is a headquarters. Every teacher is a mentor. Every student brings a unique superpower that helps make our Pack stronger.

The next chapter begins soon...
Heroes, get ready to answer the call!
