Now that moms have received their special gifts, we can share what Grandview Elementary School kindergarteners were up to last week! 💐
City Greenhouse Specialist John Berglund joined the kindergarteners for a fun and educational planting session with our youngest learners. He shared tips on seeds and plant care, then helped each student plant a flower to take home—just in time for Mother's Day! 🌱
Thank you to Mr. Berglund and Rapid City Municipal Government team for making this hands-on learning experience so meaningful and memorable for our students (and their moms)!
