It was brought up that the National Gardening Association takes applications every year for Garden Grants. Grants for School and Youth Gardens are awarded to kids' groups, clubs, schools, etc. to build a group garden. There needs to be a minimum of 15 kids involved; the grants are anywhere from $50 to $500. The money is awarded so that the group can plot, build, plant, and grow gardens. It is a super opportunity. The deadline is February so we missed for this year but it was asked if we would want to try for this next year. It was a unanimous yes. | Archery Classes once a week for 6 weeks $5 per student bows provided age 8 and up need headcount ASAP contact Terri L. or Holly G. | Upcoming Events...

| We learned about owls and then dissected owl pellets. Inside the pellets were the bones of its prey. Then, in the next unit we learned about frogs and how they metamorphose. | Then each student got to dissect a frog. We took out all the organs and identified them. Simeon cut open the head and found the brain. Kendle took out an eyeball. | It was really interesting. Some kids really got into it and didnt want to quit. Others just thought it was g-r-o-s-s! |

| Our first Science Workshop was held at the Lechner's home in Etna. We had Brenda Ashworth, from the S.V. Water Conservation District, visit. She explained to us what SVWCD was and what they did. She brought with her a model of a watershed. | The children took turns applying pollutants, in the form of thick liquids colored with koolaid. pollutants such as fertilizers, gasoline and oil from spills, manure, pesticides... | Then, after all the pollutants were applied, they took turns spraying water on the model. This showed them exactly how the pollutants flow into water sources. It was a fun, hands-on demonstration. The hardest part was getting the spray bottles away from them, when we were done. |
