Our Farm Club is growing pineapples at Jack Anderson Elementary! If your family enjoys pineapple, don’t toss the top! 🌱 Save it and send it in with your student—they can drop it off in C12.

Let’s work together to bring a taste of the tropics to JAE! 🌞 Every pineapple top helps grow our garden. #JAEFarmClub #PineappleProject #GrowingTogether
