IT'S SUMMER!
Do you have 3 minutes for our school community?
A message from the PTO Board:
Can you offer just 3 minutes to complete a very simple survey? We will use this information to make the most out of our planning for events, fundraising and communication.
Stay tuned for PTO updates throughout the summer.
As always, please reach out at charteroakpto@gmail.com.
Charter Oak's edible schoolyard
Learning and growing continues in the garden this summer. It's okay, the kids won't even know it's happening. :)
A school garden is a place to use all of your senses including TASTE! Take a walk along the fence next to the garden - also next to the cafeteria entrance - and you will find Serviceberry Trees (Amelanchior Canadensis), their branches heavy with edible berries.
Listen to Robin Wall Kimmerer speak beautifully about this native plant that offers us and our habitat so much happiness. https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/the-serviceberry/
Harvest these berries - you can also make jams, jellies or pies - and send us photos! charteroakdeeproots@gmail.com.
