ecoSTEM Kit Recipient in partnership with DonorsChoose and Captain Planet!

For Mother’s Day every student at Dana Elementary School took home milkweed plants they planted in containers from the PolliNation ecoSTEM® Resource Kits. The students also created garden themed cards for their loved ones. By planting the milkweed seeds at home the student will be creating a neighborhood monarch butterfly habitat corridor.
