Dear Parents,
Come help us clean up the garden tomorrow from 9am-12pm! It's sure to be a fun time...don't forget your gardening gloves!
You're Needed!
We need help watering the Parkside Garden this summer. We are asking for families to volunteer for one week of garden care. Your week begins on Monday!
What does helping with the garden require?
- Please water at least 3 times over the course of your week. (Ideally 2 times during the week and once on the weekend.)
- Water the raised garden beds and sensory garden.
- Give the trees, bushes and plants around the garden a good soaking.
- Watering before 10am or after 6pm is best.
- Weed if you like!
**You are welcome to any produce that is ready for picking during your watering week!**
Contact Stacie Cary if you need help figuring out the water/key system! stacie@staciecary.com.
Thank you for your help - Garden club will start up next school year!

We finished the Kindness Rocks project! You can see our rocks in the garden...they look amazing! Our kids did such a great job and put so much thought and effort into creating the perfect rock to represent "Kindness"! Way to go Mustangs!
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped to make this happen...you are all so appreciated!
Come by the newest Little Free Library to snag a good book to read! We are so excited to finally have one of our own at Parkside!
