JMG Plant Parts Food Drive – Community Service Project

Why not combine your students’ learning and CAN do enthusiasm with a true service-learning project? The plant parts food drive is a fun way to learn more about the foods we eat, where they come from, and how we can help others. Collecting canned vegetables helps us learn about plant parts that we eat. Visit the JMG web site for Plant Part Food Drive resources!
