Fulton Learning Center Third Grade Students "Reap What They Sow"

Third grade students at FLC are proud to announce that they got to “reap what they sow”.    Funds generated from the school's metal recycling program were used to purchase heirloom seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds in Missouri.    The soil had been enriched with mulch created from tree debris from Hurricane Harvey that is still piled for use in the garden.    Back in early September, all 3^rd graders planted vegetable seeds.    Today was harvesting day for radishes.    Students have been gathering and washing fresh radishes with the assistance of 5

th grade mentor students helping them.    Next was radish tasting.      For many of our students, this was the first time they had ever tasted a radish.
