Transformation really can take shape beyond the walls.
Our very own Mrs. Herrin connected with local farmer Mr. Luigi Campos, who generously donated a (Tower Garden Rack - Vertical Farming) to empower our scholars to discover their inner urban farmer. The Flightline campus can now grow 128 plants at a time, harvested every 45 days.
Over the upcoming weeks, our JR MANRRS scholars will learn how to do daily water testing and a variety of other skills to tackle some critical food system issues occurring throughout the globe.
They will grow fresh specialty crops, including lettuce, beets, radishes, bok choy, carrots, flowers, and herbs. Our scholars are eager and committed to transforming our community and our world.
Special thanks to the Arkansas Department of Agriculture and your continued support.

Christmas meets Agriculture
Our agriculture Educator, Ms. Mahan shared her thoughts on a recent beyond the walls leading experience.
“Scholars had the opportunity to learn about the importance of Christmas Tree Farming. We traveled to Shillings Family Christmas Tree Farm in Lonoke, AR. Scholars harvested their favorite tree to showcase at the Literacy Night this past week! Did you know that real Christmas Trees help the environment by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen? They also are a renewable resource and recyclable.” There are more facts on the National Christmas Tree Association website if you want to add any more or change anything.
