Today's speaker was Lauren Mroczek,
Governors Services Award Winner, 2024
Miss Greater Kalamazoo, 2025
Miss Greater Kalamazoo is a scholarship competition and part of the Miss Michigan Program. Lauren will be competing for Miss Michigan in June. Good luck!
Lauren’s project that she received the Governors Services Award for is called "Growing Gardens for Growing Minds". Along with volunteers, Lauren creates fun and free gardening kit for students. The kit increases knowledge, consumption, and access to nutritious fruits and vegetables with the goal of lowering the risk of developing life threatening chronic diseases. This project is just about to start its 5th year.
