Grass is Green Where You Choose To Plant, Nurture and Grow
Let’s Continue to Grow Together
We are pleased to announce that were awarded a grant from the University of Arkansas and Ed to Go. They have partnered with us as we add Gardening and Green House skills to our program. We are also pleased to announce our partnership with Morrison Builders who donated a 4,000sq. ft. Greenhouse to our academy and will assist in the training and production. This will surely benefit our community outreach program as we all are aware of the importance of healthy eating, lifestyle habits and of course the enormous need for Life Skills Education. But we are not stopping there. We are also educating on how to take your life skills and turn them into a business by selling your produce and products in marketplaces, farmers markets etc.
Sew Fabulous Studio & Academy benefits both youth and adult residents of Fort Smith and the River Valley. We’ve had much success in the past with a 92% graduation rate of our student body. With over 2500 impacted by our Life and Business Skills Community Impact Program and efforts. Together we can and will continue to grow our beautiful community. Remember the grass isn’t green on the other side. It’s green where you/we choose to plant seeds, water and nurture them. And with your help that is Exactly what we will do.
