A tradition each year, agriculture students a Portal High School grow some 200 poinsettias for sale during the holiday season. Students planted the 2010 crop in their classroom in August and they will be for sale to the public beginning Monday for $8 per plant. Proceeds made from the sale of the poinsettias goes back into Portal's horticulture program to support continuing education, said Dr. Thomas Marshall, agricultural education teacher.
