From our Fabulous PTSA!
GARDEN CLUB
We have had an amazing season for our PTSA Plank South Garden Club...our students have made our Courtyard Classroom an absolutely beautiful area to hold classes, learn about our environment and just to relax in! This year they have planted or revitalized several of our gardens...Perennial, Herb, Sensory and even created a colorful Sculpture Garden, Fairy Garden and a Rock Garden! They have added several Container Plantings, Bird Houses, Wind Chimes and other fun crafts that are now part of our decor. Many parents have asked how does one get involved in the Garden Club. This club is actually a group of Parent Volunteers, led by a PTSA Event Coordinator, that help to host various After School Activities for our children as well as coordinate various In-School Activities that our students are an integral part of during their recess and free time. This group also helps to maintain our gardens throughout the year...weeding, watering and taking care of all the wonderful plants and habitats that we have. If you are interested in joining us, we are looking for several parents who would enjoy assisting with the continued maintenance of our Natural Habitat throughout the summer months! Please contact Tricia Kull at (570) 574-0635 or tfkull@aol.com to sign up...we will be putting together a rotation of families to help us keep these grounds beautiful for our school and community. Thank you for all of your support!!
