Lee Middle and High School students celebrated their new greenhouse recently by simultaneously taking huge bites of apples, symbolizing the produce the greenhouse will soon yield.
The 12-foot by 26-foot western red cedar structure, located outside the school building, smells of fresh wood. It stands ready for use for growing seedlings, gardening projects, science class and all types of outdoor education.
Holding tasty honey crisp and red delicious apples, students and staff members inaugurated the facility, tying it in with "The Big Crunch," an event for national Food Day, which aimed to get as many Michigan students as possible biting apples at the same time.
