| 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. |
