The last meeting will end with cold treats!

CHICKEN TENDERS
PTA sponsors the Glenhope Chicken Coop as an classroom and student enrichment to learn all things Chickens. We love our Glenhope Hens!
As this is a not direct club, there are opportunities to become chicken "tenders" with your family through the year to check on them, fill their water and food, and bring them special treats. We need weekend helpers through the year and week long helpers during the summer!
