The Copper Country Intermediate School District has a greenhouse for their students to learn from, now they just need some help putting it back together.
For years, the CCISD used the greenhouse located on the property of Copper Country Mental Health for students in their Community Transition Program.
The structure was recently donated to the district and will be relocated to at the Copper Country Learning Center in Hancock once it’s reassembled.
Greenhouse Project manager Karyn Juntenun is working to help raise the $10,000 needed for the work.
Juntenun said, “Of the $10,000, I’ve been able to write grants with some co-workers of mine and we’ve also have had service organizations donate money and I’ve been doing presentations at service organizations to ask for more money and also interest in time and materials or volunteer hours for work bees when we do put the structure back up.”
The plan is to have the foundation poured by June and the whole structure completed by November.
When it reopens, the greenhouse will be available to all CCISD students.
Information on how to support the effort can be found on the Copper Country ISD Greenhouse Project Facebook page.
