growing plantsFor the three of the last four years the 8th grade class at Pettis County R-XII has completed a service project for the Show-Me Christian Youth Home by growing a garden that their House Families use in their kitchens.  We have started out small (about 50 plants) to now this year going well over 120 plants. This year we are planting several items including, tomato’s (about 5 different varieties) Peas, cucumbers, zucchini, potatoes, broccoli, cantaloupe, pumpkins, yellow squash, carrot, lettuce, spinach.  The students get to go out and plant the garden, then take a tour of the facilities and learn more about the Show-Me Christian Youth Home, see what the classrooms look like, understand why the facility is there and what they are doing for those youth while there.
