The SMA Junior Flower Show is fast approaching on Jan 31! Each classroom will be busy working on their grade's project selected by the teacher, but now we need to start thinking about EXTRA projects to do. Remember, you can choose to do ANY of the projects on the list. Technically, the more projects you make, the better chances you have at winning Best in Show and having your work displayed at the Philadelphia Flower Show PLUS getting free tickets. All of the 26 projects are fun and easy to make, so let's make this our best SMA Junior Flower show ever! Thank you! God bless, Mr. “D”.
