Students at Winfield-Mount Union Community School District are making a difference in their community thanks to a newly awarded grant and some hands-on service work.
School officials say Mrs. Pogmore recently wrote and secured funding from the Peter Marsh Foundation to create a new Pathways Club, designed to give students opportunities to complete projects that benefit the community.
Using grant funds, a variety of high school students spent time yesterday planting drought-resistant perennial plants in two park locations in Winfield. One planting site was located near the ball commons, while the second was near the city office.
The project not only improves the appearance of community spaces but also teaches students the value of service and environmental stewardship.
The newly created Pathways Club will continue working on additional community-focused projects in the future, helping students stay engaged while giving back to the Winfield area.
