The spring service project involved creating and selling plantable seed paper. The class asked teachers for their recycling bins of old papers, shredded the papers, and blended them to make paper pulp. They then added wildflower seeds, flower petals, and leaves for decoration and packaged them in earth-friendly packaging to sell during lunch hours to students and staff.
The Peer Insights class pairs general education students with special education students, providing an opportunity to come together in an inclusive atmosphere.
