Oranges & grapefruits, art & technology

Your purchase of delicious organic citrus supports the Center School's computer technology, as well as our integrated art curriculum. Each year the school purchases new computer programs and machines. We also purchase art supplies such as paper, paint, clay, and wood. Art and computers are integrated into most of our work at Center School.  Whether we are completing homework on Google Classroom, carving wood into colonial porringers, or sewing scarves for those in need, we are always looking to improve our computer and artistic skills. New materials and equipment are vital to our schoolwork.

A Student-run Fundraiser: At Center School we love an opportunity for students to learn through doing. Kids are involved at every level of the citrus sale, using their math to process orders and calculate the carbon footprint of the transport, learning about gross and net profit, and developing action plans for sales and distribution. 

Thank you for supporting these valuable programs.

About G & S Groves

Several years ago, long-time friends David Strohmeyer and Charlie Gearhart teamed up to grow grapefruit and oranges on two small plots of land in the warm, fertile, citrus-growing belt of South Texas. It is land that is dear to their hearts. For David, it is where his childhood home still stands. For Charlie, a born farmer, it is next door to the land where he has produced citrus, corn, and cotton since the 1950's.

As childhood friends, David and Charlie roamed land together and swam in the canals that carry water from the Rio Grande River to irrigate thirsty crops. Today, as grandfathers, they keep watch as the land offers up what is arguably the world's best tasting, most nutritious citrus.
