UPCOMING EVENTS
Jackson Adopt the Garden Summer Program
We’re looking for families to adopt the Jackson Learning Garden over the summer months! This is a great opportunity if you are unable to have a garden at home, travel extensively over the summer or have never gardened and need a simple introduction. Our garden is chemical free and kid friendly!
How It Works:
Families adopt the garden for one week (Sunday-Saturday).
All gardening levels welcome! We supply the checklist and are always around to answer questions and take care of the big problems.
Responsibilities will include watering, weeding, staking and reporting disease or bugs.
All tools are provided and water is on site.
Commitment is 2-5 hours (2-3 hours June/July, later in the summer more time is required).
During your week, families are welcome to take home any produce that is ready!
Weeks fill up quickly! Sign up is below. Questions? Contact Emmaly at fenren03@gmail.com

• If parents have pictures from this school year, of activities/events (classroom parties, field trips, etc.), please send them into school (to your teacher) by next Friday (May 31) to be included in a photo board at the park.
• Magazines and craft paper donations are being requested for a vision board art project the 5th graders are creating during art class, that will be on display at the park. If you have magazines/craft paper that is no longer needed, please send these into the art room as soon as possible.
