Sudduth Elementary School and Oktibbeha Master Gardeners are a recipient of the 2021 Governor's Award from the Mississippi Association of Partners in Excellence (MAPE) for their work together to create excellent, engaging learning experiences for our youngest Jackets in the school garden.
Students at Sudduth Elementary School harvest fruits and veggies in their school garden funded with generous support from Oktibbeha Master Gardeners. Tending to the garden offers hands-on learning experiences for students as they connect physically to nutrition education.
MAPE will recognize Sudduth Elementary School and the Oktibbeha Master Gardeners as one of Mississippi’s top school-community partnerships during the virtual 19th annual Governor’s Awards ceremony on Friday, March 26.
