Seeds of Change, a new club at Amundsen, celebrates native plants, vegetable growth, and keystone trees. Since August, we've built a compost collection, planted 60+ native species, and gathered seeds. Our aim isn't just planting; we spread knowledge, boost community wellness, and cultivate nature appreciation. We need your support to enhance Amundsen's campus!

Join us Nov 11th and Dec 2nd to remove invasive plants and beautify our campus. Bring your gardening tools, or use ours. Enjoy free coffee, hot chocolate, and donuts. Parents and community members: please fill out the CPS level II volunteer form and RSVP by clicking on the link!
