As school teachers and administrators were getting back to class last week, one school district learned they were the recipient of a grant from Monsanto.
Dr. Kristen Kendrick-Weikle is the Superintendent of the Warrensburg-Latham school district and explains the grant from Monsanto for a school garden. She is hopeful the garden from the grant is going to be useful to all their age groups.
Shooting for a fall time line of getting things prepared, Dr. Kendrick-Weikle hopes the garden will be ready for use by the spring. The grant was worth around $10-thousand.
Dr. Kendrick-Weikle says it will be a school wide effort to get the garden up and going and then the whole school will be involved in using it.
