Well a CONGRATS is in order for the Glennallen High School science teacher Mrs. Brown as she had a vision, sought after it, and secured it!!! Glennallen High School has been awarded $2,200.00 in a Specialty Crop Block Grant that Mrs. Brown (District Science Teacher) applied for at the end of last school year. The intent of the grant is to increase the competitiveness of specialty crops. Specialty crops are defined as "fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture, and nursery crops (including floriculture)." The implementation of this project will include the construction of Grow Towers (designed by Chena Hot Springs) which will allow the cultivation of crops during the school year and cold inter months. Mrs. Brown partnered with the Fairbanks Soil and Water Conservation District and the Alaska Department of Natural Resources to implement this project. If you see her at school or in our community, please share your appreciation as she continues to excel in providing these opportunities for our Copper Valley students! Well done Mrs. Brown ~ We Thank You!
