Tower Garden Update
The Tower Garden continues to flourish! After just one week, we were ready to transplant the seedlings into the tower. Below are pictures of Marina Daniels adding water to the reservoir and measuring the pH to get it just right! Front office staff all participated in putting the new seedlings into the tower to continue to GROW!

Story Walk
In a recent Newsletter, I invited you to come read the Story Walk that was presented through the efforts of the Monroe County Library System. We have a delightful new book, Chickadee Criminal Mastermind by Monica Silvie. You can find the Story Walk on the fence that surrounds the baseball field. Please bring your child(ren) and enjoy reading the book!
I am looking for donations. Book one of Percy Jackson series, The Lightning Thief, is very popular now – it is a great series. Harry Potter is popular again, too. The series called I Survived needs donations!
I have all students, K – 8 and am out of tissues, Lyson spray (or other similar) and Wipes, I try to clean the desks several times a day.
