Students are coming home today with a cabbage plant donated by Bonnie Plants. They also have a flyer about the Scholarship contest, rules, and regulations in their red homework folder. I have attached it for your convenience. In 2002, Bonnie Plants started the 3rd Grade Cabbage Program with a mission to inspire a love of vegetable gardening in young people. Each year, they distribute more than one million free cabbage plants to 3rd Grade classrooms across the country. As part of the program, Bonnie Plants awards a $1,000 scholarship to one student in each state. Teachers submit a class winner and a child is chosen via random drawing by each state’s Director of Agriculture. The link for more information is below: http://bonniecabbageprogram.com/ Submissions must be turned in to me by September 20th. (Even though your student will be in 4th grade, you still submit them to me.) You can also read about this year’s winner from Union, SC in an article from The Spartanburg Herald Journal: http://www.goupstate.com/article/20140110/ARTICLES/140119973 This is a GREAT opportunity! I hope everyone will choose to participate. Good luck!
