Grove City Middle School 6th grade science classes raised over $2200.00 towards a clean water rain barrel system; partnering with Ugandan Water Project (http://ugandanwaterproject.com/).  Grove City Rotary Club and community members contributed the remaining $1300.00 necessary to fund the rain barrel system.

The Water Walk completed the 2014 educational program partnership between Grove City Community Garden and Grove City Middle School.  Special thanks to the 6th grade teachers...and very special thanks to Ms. Santry for inviting us into her classroom throughout the school year!
