Getting Started

I am a service member with the Marshfield Clinic AmeriCorps. I serve at an elementary school in Wisconsin Rapids. I work with the kids during the school day and help out with the Boys and Girls Club unit right at our school. We provide afterschool programming and also have a program during the summer. A few months ago, I attended a training provided by the UW-Extension called "Got Dirt?" about gardening in school. This sounded like a great idea! I have finally gotten the O.K. from the head of Buidling and Grounds to proceed with the planning of the garden! I am hoping to work with the kids tonight to start getting things in motion. Hopefully they will take it and run with it! I look forward to keeping this updated with the progress we are making and get some pictures going!
