Gardening Day


Gardening Day
Originally uploaded by my_weezy
Saturday we had a Gardening day at our school. There were close to 100 people, staff and parents, there to help build these beds and clean up the courtyard. It was wonderful to see how much support we have in beautifying our campus and providing great learning oppurtunities for our students.

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining. There was a crisp breeze keeping us all from overheating. Music was playing, everyone was working together, having a great time. I wish I could show you pictures of everyone that was there. I got some great pictures.

It is days like this that I am so happy and proud to work with such a great community. Our school services pre-k students from four Title I schools. Our parents and their kids are with us for only one year and yet the parent-community involvement is so wonderful and comparable to what you might expect in more affluent areas. We are very lucky.

I can't wait to see these beds filled with the flowers, plants and vegetables the kids will plant.

  3. If we really want our schools to produce happy, healthy, and productive kids, things like caring for a garden are the way to go.....not devoting hours to prepare for a state test. Yay for your school.
