FMS Civics Project

FMS Civics Project

Hello Franklin Patrons. 

GATE students from FMS are working on a civics project currently in which they are learning about forestry, local services offered by the USGS, tree planting and fundraising. In the above pictures we are on a field trip to Cherry Springs and the Nordic Center. We are also involved in planting 36 trees in the front of FMS, that we will grow and then harvest in five years to sell as Christmas trees or live trees for planting. These kids are having fun learning, the work involved in planning and creating and the effort needed to see a project through to completion. Come and check out our forest. It will be planted in the spring.
