On Saturday, March 31st, the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton 4-H Club planted flowers at the Nativity of Our Lord Church in Kenner to make the grounds livelier. The original plan was to go to the church on Tuesday, March 27th, but the trip was postponed until the next Saturday. The members worked hard weeding and transplanting the flowers. Through teamwork, the members were able to have lots of fun as well as finish the planting. The members had lots of fun while
brightening up the church.
