We followed the APSU Media Relations Service Learning students to an Earth Day Service Learning event, in which they worked with their client for the semester, Susannah Fotopulos of Plant the Seed. Susannah and the students at Nashville International Academy planted several gardens and shared a healthy picnic with us. Again, we appreciated our welcome from Principal Berthena Nabaa-McKinney, and Plant the Seed Director Susannah Fotopulos, who spends so much time with the students teaching them how to grow sustainable food sources.
