Have you ever been watching television and a commercial for homeless and abandoned cats or dogs comes on? We all have and it is heartbreaking, but you can help. Some residents allow their unneutered or unspayed cat to run free and breed, unfortunately, resulting in homeless felines.

Spring has sprung and it is time to plant a little seed. Please help Sprucewood Colony School plant the seed of knowledge of a healthy start within mothers in a less fortunate part of the world.
This small K-12 school on the Hutterian Sprucewood Colony near Brookdale in the Beautiful Plains School Division is once again selling hanging flower pots. These 12” pots were planted by the 39 Kindergarten to Grade 12 students under the supervision of the head gardeners, Garry and Colleen Wollmann. With each student choosing their favourite flowers there are a variety of unique and beautiful creations to choose from.
At $40 each, your purchase of a basket will help bring health education to mothers in a needy village. The profit from the sale of these pots will be given towards WE (formerly the Free the Children Foundation) for Family Health Workshops. What a better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than by getting your mother a beautiful plant and helping mother’s throughout the world help their families live a healthier life.
This project is made possible through the resources, time and coordination of the Beautiful Plains School Division, Sprucewood School, Garry and Colleen Wollmann, head gardeners of Sprucewood Colony, and the up to date greenhouse facility onsite.
