Dexter, MO - Silas Pfeffer may have quite the green thumb and a story to tell his grandchildren.  He and his classmates at Central Elementary were given cabbage seeds before school was dismissed due to COVID-19 earlier this year.

Mrs. Kristi Whitehead who teaches third grade at Dexter said, "We learned about plants in our Science unit this year before the students moved on to the 4th grade.  Each student was given cabbage seeds to grow."

Silas did a fantastic job doing this project to foster his planting unit in science.  He planted, grew, nourished and harvested this cabbage which weighed an impressive 14 pounds.
