Beth Ramacher Educational Complex

The goal of our school garden is to expose our students to new adventures and new experiences. Our students have severe disabilities and some of the students are medically fragile. They do not get to experience gardens; for some they do not get to experience real fruits and vegetables. This grant will allow us to present new and exciting opportunities for our students. When they are outside our students are smiling and enjoying themselves soaking up the sun. The students love getting their hands dirty and watching the plants grow big and strong.

Bee Girl's Kids and Bees Program

Kids love honey bees. It’s pretty much a fact. When I sat on the sunny deck of my aunt’s cabin eating honey comb straight from the hive as a toddler, a seed was planted that grew into an affinity for all things bees as an adult. I now travel the country and visit schools and summer programs with our observational bee hive (season and location permitting), activities, and tastes of honey for the kids. Seeing their faces light up gives me hope that I am helping to plant seeds of knowledge and fondness that may someday grow into a great beekeeper...
