COME SEE WHATS GROWING AT AVONDALE ACADEMY!
The Avondale Academy has officially broken ground on its community garden project. The community garden project will eventually be a nearly 3000 square foot botanical garden housing 150 vegetable plants (13 different species), over 100 perennial bulb flowers (6+ different species), a brick paver walkway, hand built fences and gates, 8 student created birdhouses and feeders, and various benches and art. Harvest from the garden will benefit community shelters. The community garden project will hopefully become a yearlong endeavor. A big THANK YOU to community sponsors who have donated to the cause: Meijer, Bordine’s, Lowe’s, and ACE Hardware.
ATTENTION SENIORS

Student should already have handed in their order forms for cap & gowns and the money is due May 1. Please see Mrs. Trager if you have questions.
STUDENTS HELP RAINBOW CONNECTION
Academy students made a donation of 9 Easter baskets earlier this week. Donations were made to Rainbow Connection in Rochester. Rainbow Connection is SE Michigan’s version of the Make a Wish Foundation. All Easter Baskets were to be given to families with terminally ill children over the holiday. Students were given a tour of the facility, and were given the opportunity to see the “wish wall”. The wish wall had pictures of all children in the program organized by those who have had their wishes granted, those who have chosen a wish and it has been scheduled, and those you have not yet decided on a wish. It was a very emotional experience for the students. Rainbow Connection also took pictures of the students for the walls in their building.
