Tis the Season for gardening and landscaping

A huge thank you to Washington County Farm Bureau, Ruben's Community Gardens and Illinois River Watershed Partnership Group. SWJH is in the process of putting in a community salsa garden. This summer volunteers are welcome to help us in the garden from 8-10 on Monday and Thursday in exchange for some of our delicious produce.


Students started tomatoes, jalapeƱos, cilantro and onions on our super cool grow table.



Students planned, measured and built 3 raised vegetable beds.


Also a big thank you to Sam's Club for helping with our school's landscaping!


Students planted grass around our new curbs and fertilized the lawn.
