GREENBACKS FOR THE GREENHOUSE - Head to Whole Foods Southglenn and take your bags! Littleton's greenhouse has been the recipient of the Bag Credit Donation Program since June.  We will be receiving credit through September.  Every time you reuse a bag, be it a large grocery bag or a small produce bag, we receive 10 cents.  Doesn't sound like much, but it adds up. Make sure to say you would like the money donated to LIttleton HS. The funds will be used for greenhouse projects, specifically for expansion of a hydroponic system that will help to supply fresh herbs and greens to the cafeteria.
