We are thrilled to announce that construction is complete on our brand-new FRC Greenhouse, Seeds of Hope! This amazing space was made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Prosper Education Foundation last year.

We can't wait to officially bring our social skills groups into the greenhouse to get hands-on experience, cultivate teamwork, and watch new friendships bloom right alongside our plants. Thank you to the Prosper Education Foundation for planting the seeds for our students' growth! 🌱✨
