Christina Raad, Kevin O'Rourke, Amanda Garron, Ken Ouellette, and Mary Donahue are the participants that, because of the garden club, are allowed to attend and participate in the Envirothon. We just wanted to say thanks! If you could e-mail us any information or advice you have about the environment or scholarships, it would be appreciated. You can e-mail Christina Raad at x2christinaxo@aol.com. Have a good day!
