Kulshan Food Pantry
Hello Kulshan Families! Last year we were able to support students in need with some non-perishable food items on the weekends. We were able to stock our food pantry primarily from donations from our Kulshan Families! We depleted our pantry at the end of the year and are in need of donations to get this going again. When the pantry gets low, we will send this link out but we will accept donations at any time. If you can help, please sign-up! Also, if you are a family in need, please reach out to Jen Newbauer- school counselor- and she will coordinate with you to get food items for your student. All donations can be dropped off at Student Services in the 100 Hallway. Please email Jen Newbauer or Cathy Beechum (our PTSA President) with any questions.
Gardening with Common Threads
Hello! My name is Ruby Spring. I’m delighted to join the Kulshan community as the new Common Threads AmeriCorps Food Educator. Feel free to say hi if you see me around, I’m wearing a Common Threads T-shirt! This fall, students in 8th (and some in 6th) grade will explore and learn in the garden classroom as they help build healthy soil, save seeds, plant cover crop, and enjoy/share the harvest! A huge THANKS to all who helped care for the garden during the summer! If you’d like to volunteer in the garden (for lessons or garden maintenance) please let me know: ruby@commonthreadsfarm.org
