How to Grow

George Washington Carver
The Kroger Company donates enough sweet potatoes for each first grader to have their own.  They root the sweet potatoes as part of Science Discovery Day early in April and draw thank you pictures to send to Kroger for donating the sweet potatoes. They plant the potatoes in the sweet potato patch the week following Mother's Day. 

In the fall, the now second graders, harvest the sweet potatoes and share them with the school for their harvest parties. This fall they are inviting, Kroger representatives to come to their harvest party to share in the harvest from the sweet potatoes their company donated. 

 
"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant."  Robert Louis Stevenson
