Mr. Gensic’s Giving Trees Orchard bears fruit!

Three years ago thanks to a P-H-M Education Foundation grant Penn High School Early College teacher Mr. John Gensic had an idea that was able to take root … to plant fruit orchards at some PHM elementary schools; the first was planted at Horizon Elementary. He had elementary students and his Early College students plant the trees in a field behind Horizon.

Now the project is literally bearing fruit! Recently current 3rd graders of Ms. Marci Messer & the students who helped plant the orchard three years ago (who are now Discovery students) went apple & pear pickin'! Click to see the full photo gallery on Horizon’s website.
