Framingham Garden Club Provides Resource to Elementary Schools

February 7, 2017

The Framingham Garden Club proudly donated an early reader book to each Framingham elementary school. This month, each school will add The Frightened Frog: An Environmental Tale to their school library. Written and produced by National Garden Clubs, Inc., The Frightened Frog is a resource designed to inform elementary-aged children about amphibians and the environmental issues that they face. The book includes interesting facts about frogs and the ways in which children can “Leap into Action” to help protect and preserve local amphibian habitats.

In addition to this generous donation, The Framingham Garden Club continues to support Framingham Public Schools in the form of student scholarships, teacher grants, and funding for the Patterns in Nature, Art, and History program for third graders.
