Students from Partnership Middle School's GROW (gardening and overall wellness) classroom work with ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵForestry Assistant Professor Joshua Granger and Extension Associate Marc Measells to plant trees at the school on Thursday [March 11]. The tree planting was originally scheduled for Arbor Day, but was delayed due to winter weather. The GROW classes are part of a $900,000 SOSD grant from the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation to promote health and wellness. .
