Volunteers pitch in to help THINK Together with garden at Cogswell Elementary

 Community volunteers and Environmental Leadership students from El Monte High School helped the THINK Together staff and students this week with the “Hop into Spring” event at Cogswell Elementary School.
With help from Plastics Make it Possible, an American Chemistry Council initiative that highlights the many ways plastics improve lives, about 25 students volunteered at THINK Together to hang a vertical school garden called, Woolly School Pocket Garden.
Besides hanging the garden and filling the pockets up with soil, the volunteers also tended to Cogswell’s existing school garden by weeding and planting new plants. They also read spring-themed books to the THINK Together students.

THINK Together is serious about helping kids achieve!

THINK Together is making a difference in the lives of more than 100,000 California students. The non-profit organization's trained staff, dedicated volunteers and generous donors are providing extended learning time programs (after-school, summer learning, small group tutoring, early literacy, etc.) and resources to help these kids, their families and their communities achieve. Our programs, generally free for at-risk students and low-income families, are predominately available at public school sites across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and now Sacramento Counties.
