Hi Jane,
Spring has officially sprung, and all of us here at St. Francis Neighborhood Center are embracing the season with open arms! 🌷
With our Homecoming Celebration coming up on the 26th, we've been hard at work on a few improvement projects in and around the Center! Our focus last week? Gardening! 🪴

Thanks to a generous donation from our amazing freinds at Lowe’s of White Marsh, our Power Project students are kicking off gardening season in a big way. After a special field trip to the store (where we received a warm welcome and got to pick out seeds), students rolled up their sleeves and got to work alongside Lowe’s team members, building flower beds, prepping soil, and planting everything from cilantro to sunflowers to the most highly-requested—corn! 🌽
We are beyond grateful to Lowe’s of White Marsh for their time, tools, and team-spirit. Their support made this hands-on learning experience unforgettable and will enhance the beauty of our wonderful campus at SFNC!
