Sapulpa High School Students Learning Life Skills Through Special Program

A job training program is changing the lives of some Sapulpa High School students by teaching them life skills through farm work, gardening and art. 

They call themselves the Sapulpa Green Thumb Chieftains with the motto ‘growing into the future.” They’re part of Sapulpa High School's job training program, which helps some of the district’s most special students prepare for life after graduation.

The Sapulpa Green Thumb Chieftains program runs primarily off donations, so all the money raised from the greenhouse and artwork goes back into the program.

The best way to reach out about getting plants, flowers or artwork, is through the Sapulpa Green Thumb Chieftains Facebook page.
