La Vernia Primary School
Location: 249 FM 1346 South, La Vernia, TX 78121 POC: Kay Cover doncover6969@yahoo.com & Colleen Collier colleen1631@gmail.com Date & Time: Tuesdays 8:30am-9:30am – Workdays are for maintaining the gardens. If teaching a class that will be on yours and the teacher’s schedule. Task: La Vernia Primary is for kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades. There are numerous volunteer opportunities. We maintain the gardens year-round. You can choose to work in the garden only, or choose to work with a class or help another MG or parent/grandparent. We share our gardening knowledge with these children in a fun way using the Junior Master Gardener Program. We coordinate with the principal and teachers. The school librarian is involved in providing resources. We also meet with the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). Each school year we determine how many teachers wish to have/or continue with a garden plot. The teachers ask for parent volunteers, and we work with those volunteers to get them started. Master Gardener Volunteers have a fun and rewarding experience. Background checks will be required through the school system at no expense in addition to the MG background check. ID’s will be issued to be worn at all times on school grounds. You can help make the gardener of the future!
