THANK YOU- Garden Work Party
We would like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all the families, students, staff, and community members who came out last Saturday to help us with our garden clean up. The transformation is amazing! Now all of our garden beds are ready for our students to begin planting and that side of our school looks beautiful and welcoming. We are also in the process of adding a new shade structure to our garden area. We look forward to our students planting, learning new science facts, and tasting new foods they have grown themselves. Thank you all for helping us make this happen.
