The effort to improve our agriculture program continues with the construction of 4 new greenhouses. With each greenhouse providing valuable growing area, there will be ample space to extend the season for growing more of what we eat.
In addition, there are many other benefits, such as expanding the opportunities for students and teachers to work together, following the counsel we have in Fundamentals of Education, where Ellen White addresses this topic: “The natural and the spiritual are to be combined in the studies of our schools. The operations of agriculture illustrate the Bible lessons” (FE 375.1).
Of course, there is also the benefit of knowing where our food is coming from and the processes used to produce it, and it teaches the principles of self-reliance.
Please keep this project and our efforts in your prayers and consider a gift to help complete this project. The goal is to raise $200,000 for this project.
