Sydney Brotherston has been selected the 2014-2015 Massachusetts State Winner of the national Bonnie Plants’ 3rd Grade Cabbage Program. Sydney will receive statewide recognition for her accomplishment, and receive a $1,000 scholarship from Bonnie Plants. The Massachusetts Department of Agriculture assisted Bonnie Plants in choosing the state winner, through a random selection process.
Sydney grew her cabbage in the summer following her third grade year in Mrs. Gonsalves' class. The proud winner is now a fourth grader in Mr. Fligg's class. The third grade cabbage program gives students the opportunity to learn outside the classroom, nurture, experiment, and get their hands dirty. Last year Bonnie Plants were in 152 Massachusetts schools and provided cabbages to over 8,700 students. Congratulations to Sydney for growing such a magnificent cabbage!
