Summer Garden Program
The Elmwood Summer Garden Program is now OPEN for sign up!
Families can sign up for one week or more to help tend to the garden over the summer. Volunteers can take home any produce that is ready for harvest, or you may choose to donate it to our local food pantry partner, Loaves & Fishes. This is a great way for kids to watch their garden grow, learn how to tend to a garden, and serve their community.
The volunteer kick-off meeting is on Thursday, May 19 at 6 pm at Elmwood in the garden (weather permitting). If you are unable to attend the volunteer meeting, please contact Sandy Bell, Garden Committee Chairperson, at bell.sandy78@gmail.com.
Student Council Fundraiser
Student Council is having a fundraiser on Wednesday, May 18th! The money raised benefits the Elmwood community in a variety of ways including purchasing holiday gifts for local families and supporting projects at Elmwood like the Little Library in the garden. Students will be able to purchase Elmwood, Lincoln and Jefferson stickers for their Chromebooks or water bottles for $1. Students will be limited to buying 2 stickers. If your student would like to purchase a sticker, please send them to school with exactly $1 on Wednesday, May 18. Thank you for supporting Elmwood Student Council! Go Eagles!
