Horray for My Sister

I know I haven't posted in a while, but this was definitely something worth mentioning.

My sister has been working so hard with her students (she's a middle school Science teacher in downtown Jersey City) to create and maintain this beautiful garden. Her school is one of the newest and most advanced (technology-wise) schools in the city, so she was given a rooftop terrace with a green house adjacent to her classroom. She started a gardening club (with the help of our fabulously green-thumbed mother) and got her kids to start planting in this greenhouse.

Check out this video that was featured on NJ.com about my sister and her students.

Horray! So proud of her!
