When Browerville Science Teacher Bruce Curley went to the school board and asked them for the money to fund a greenhouse for his students, they told him it would be too expensive. Not to be defeated, Curley sought and received $20,000 to fund his project from a private party. Because the greenhouse is new to the school, much of the time this year has been used setting up the house and fine tuning its automatic climate controls.

The Browerville softball team played Bertha-Hewitt on April 30. Both teams played very solid defense. Both pitchers threw strikes. Kim Foote had zero walks for the game and Bertha-Hewitt’s pitcher only walked one batter for the game. Browerville simply could not hit the ball.
