Under the Adopt-A-School program that allows businesses and community organizations to work specifically with Milwaukee Public Schools, a partnership has been established between Golda Meir School and Groundwork Milwaukee, Inc. to offer Milwaukee Public Schools students a unique opportunity to learn about the many facets of agriculture through Groundwork's Young Farmers and Green Team Programs.
