The second and third grades are working together to sell veggies at the stand this fall. They're stocking and restocking veggies, talking to customers, taking payments, and making change! We want this to be run by the kids, but at times they need some support and double checking with making change etc. We also really need some help moving the boxes of veggies and other supplies as well as putting up and down the tent. Are you available to help? It's a lot of fun to watch this all in action! Thanks for helping to make it possible!
(See the end of this newsletter for more details about the volunteer shifts! Thanks!)
our farm stand shared funds!
Each class fund will be set aside and opened up again in the spring!
