Two of our amazing 5th grade Garden Club students accompanied Mrs. Henriksen to our State Capitol this week for #afterschooladvocacy Day! Along with middle and high school students from our District, they met with legislators including Assembly Member and Zoller supporter Angelo Santabarbara to ask for support of afterschool program funding. They gave hand decorated envelopes containing seeds they and other Zoller students harvested from the school garden to the legislators they met with. They also got to tour our beautiful Capitol, and learned a lot about State government! #schoolgardens #FarmtoSchool #studentadvocate #youthempowerment #afterschool #SchenectadyRising
