From March 2 through March 7, 41 GMS FFA members helped 152 primary students in grades 1st through 3rd each plant a marigold seed in the Goldendale Middle School greenhouse. “The younger students loved getting their hands dirty in the soil while they were planting marigold seeds,” said Caden Fahlenkamp.

FFA members wanted to teach the primary school students how to properly plant a seed as well as give them a tour of the greenhouse and the plants currently growing in the greenhouse for the annual FFA Plant Sale starting May 5th. Primary students will return to the greenhouse in May to transplant their marigolds into larger pots. This event is part of a yearlong ag literacy project that FFA has been doing to increase students’ knowledge about agriculture. it failed.
