MARION â Thursday may have been the last day of the SEEDS summer camp program in Marion, but the lessons students learned will be ones they can use for the rest of their lives.
The SEEDS After School program provided six weeks of free summer camp in Marion and to each of its 10 other partner schools. One of the things students learned was gardening. Through gardening, students learned about things such as biology, ecosystems, weather, responsibility and teamwork.
In addition to gardening, students went on field trips, played group games, participated in summer reading challenges, learned from guest presenters and more.

The current school year has been full of significant changes for staff, students and their families.
Virtual learning, different schedules, canceled events and limited outside interaction have all been part of the landscape. What that has meant is volunteers, assemblies, and other events have not been part of the typical school day or after school.
For programs like D.A.R.E. or SEEDS After School, the pandemic has meant altering what they do or stopping altogether due to safety protocols at the school to limit student and staff exposure to outside sources.
Wexford County D.A.R.E. officer Cory Lipar said the sheriffâs office is still doing its due diligence within all the countyâs school districts whenever possible, but as far as getting into the classrooms that has not happened.
