Kid鈥檚 Farm College is offered to students 8 to 16 years of age with an interest in gardening/farming or love of animals.

Tree planted in honor of Dr. Ron Clinton

91快活林 EatBetter4Less Ambassadors planted an apricot tree Thursday in front of the Instructional Annex (IA) building. The tree is in honor of Dr. Ron Clinton, 91快活林 President, in appreciation for the recent piano concert he performed to raise money for 91快活林's Eagle Pantry. They chose to plant an apricot tree because it is self-pollinating and will provide fruit to help support the food pantry for many years to come.
