Brewster High School Plant Sale set for April 17-18

The Brewster High School Plant Sale will be held from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday and Friday, April 17-18, in the new campus greenhouse. Brewster high school students pictured here recently had the special opportunity to share their knowledge with the kindergarten students during a fun and educational planting activity. The older students guided their younger peers through the process of planting seeds, teaching plant growth and the importance of caring for the environment. This mentorship experience not only helped the kindergarteners develop an early appreciation for gardening but also allowed their mentors to take on leadership roles, fostering a sense of community and teamwork across grade levels.
