Eighth graders in Erica Hart's agriculture classes at Kearney Junior High have been working in their raised garden beds this fall. They have made every decision on their own, according to Mrs. Hart, from the variety of crops to the layout design and fertilizer choices.

"These are the largest radishes I have ever seen, along with a great harvest of mustard greens!" Mrs. Hart said.

Even as winter lays its heavy hand outside, the students will continue to tend their garden and harvest their crops for another couple of weeks. This is how we grow great minds in Kearney School District
