ABOUT THE DANDELION INITIATIVE
We are lucky to have beautiful school grounds with gorgeous native plantings, and thanks to Genesee Hill families like YOU, we are able to care for them.
We started out our effort with weeding parties, and Study Club and individuals weeding, and through that we generated dozens of bags of weeds and mulched several beds in front of the school. This initiative helps consolidate our efforts.
Cohort weeding representatives:
- Kindergarten – TBD
- 1st grade – TBD
- 2nd grade – TBD
