At Academy Prep we have enrichments. Enrichments are after academic classes that are either learning or athletic based. The enrichments we have are Spanish club, Advanced Art, Dancing, Chess, Choir, sewing and crafts and Digital newspaper. All of these enrichments are cool but the one that I’m interested in is Organic Gardening.
You may ask what a gardening enrichment is, well a gardening enrichment is an enrichment that is basically just gardening that has some of the most agricultural people in our school. I have chosen to interview some of my friends in the enrichment which are Da’zorah Pinkney, A’nyah Hutchings on,and Tia smith. I got to ask them how they feel about gardening and many more questions.
