Maddie's Mittens



Maddie, from Maddie's Mitten March, will talk to the students on Wednesday, October 20th.


Maddie's Story
Maddie started her mitten march at 10 years old when she saw some of her peers going without proper clothes and mittens during the winter months. From that point on she's made it her goal to try and help those in her community who are less fortunate while encouraging others to find and solve issues in their own communities.

SJA Drama Club
Seveth Grade Space Farmer Pro
Seventh-grade students at St. Joan of Arc School are participating in a citizen scientist program with Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and NASA. By participating in this program the students are helping search for optimal food plants for future space travel and settlements on distant planets. This year SJA students will radish cultivars according to a set protocol, collect ongoing data about the growth of the plants, and submit data to help identify the most vigorous cultivar to be grown in space. 

You can follow our project on Twitter @SjaSpaceFarmers
