Barr Reeve Students to Build Mini Greenhouses with Foundation Grant

By John Szink Nov 9, 2026 | 9:07 AM

Our Community Foundation has announced its first-semester Teaching Innovator Grants, and Barr Reeve Community Schools is among the recipients.

Teacher Alisha Wade accepted a $250 grant for a Plant Life Cycle project and was named a Teaching Innovator.

Students will learn how plants grow and how weather affects local crops, then explore other plants and crops around Daviess County.

Wade says the project could inspire future farmers.

The money will buy grow lights, potting soil, seeds and fertilizer to build mini greenhouses.
