Sundays at 6pm

Hi,

First off, congrats to everyone for finishing another year of school! Here’s to sleeping in and no lunch making!

For garden maintenance we have decided to meet every  SUNDAY at 6pm, to help with the weeding, watering and thinning. Everyone is welcome. If you can make it one week and not the next, no worries, we just hope families stay involved through the summer to keep the garden! Jean Snow is willing to meet us the first Sunday, are people available to come this Sunday for training? If not, we can schedule Jean for the the following week.

The garden has also been assigned a community volunteer through the EAC. The volunteer will meet us Sundays at 6pm, so if no one shows up, then at least the garden is being tended.

There will be produce to harvest all through the summer so we need families to come by and help us eat it! Right now there is a LOT of lettuce, please come and help your self. Bring a bag and some scissors and snip away.

We also purchased rain barrel stands, so we’ll try to get them installed this week. We might cheat and fill them half way with the hose that Ms.Pelly installed out of the staff room so at least we have some water access on Sunday evenings as the school will be locked at this time.

I do have a blank sign that I finally made…just need to get it painted and then hammered in the ground….just like a seed this is a slow process to get everything done.

Also I wanted to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Ms.Woodbury who was so supportive with the garden. I heard Ms. Woodbury made a salad with the school lettuce for the staff goodbye party! Hope it was delicious! Good luck at your new school, we’ll sure miss you at Inglis Street.
