Poinsettias

The local middle school is running a fund raiser for a trip to Washington. If you want to get into the holiday mood nothing helps as much as a poinsettias

Eighth-graders at Smyrna Middle are selling poinsettias in order to raise funds for a class trip to Washington, D.C. Standard sizes include a six and one-half-inch pot with one plant and five or more blooms ($10) and an eight-inch pot with three plants and 12 or more blooms ($15). Pots will be wrapped in red, green or gold foil and shipped in a plastic sleeve that protects the poinsettia and provides easy transportation. The sale continues until $14. Checks should be made out to Smyrna Middle School. Plants will arrive between late November and mid-December. For more information, contact Torian Hodges-Finch at hodgesfincht@rcschools.net.
