OWLS students are partnering with the UNL Extension Office to plant herbs, vegetables, and flowers. They learn the whole process from germinating seeds to transplanting to selling the plants in May. Pete Ricketts' staffers toured the greenhouse as one OWLS student answered their questions.
T-Minus 2 weeks until the OWLS plant sale!!! The students could use your help! We are asking for donations of big sour cream, yogurt, butter, etc. containers and also any old pots you'd like to get rid of. We need them for this year and next year. We will try to have tubs at both ESU #16 offices for you to drop off donations too. Thank you!
Congratulations to Shylee from Thedford for placing 3rd in the ESU statewide Nebraska Digital Citizenship Poster Contest for grades 6-8.
Yesterday, the OWLS students met with Randa to learn about how Goodwill Employment & Career Services can help them.
