Time for the Burr Classroom Garden!
| |
 Springtime at Burr...'tis the season for our beloved Burr Garden Classroom. If you enjoy gardening (or have always wanted to learn more about it!), we invite you to join us for some good old fashioned fun in the dirt n' sun.
Over the upcoming weeks, every class at Burr will visit the classroom and plant a garden with a different "theme". We're always looking for parents to assist in their kids' classes as they plant their gardens (especially in the younger grades--lots of little green thumbs require many helping hands on deck). Please let Dana Hanson know if you think you might like to join us. Younger siblings are welcome--please come a few moments before your child's class is scheduled.
(If you can't make the planting sessions, but would like to join our Summertime Burr Family Garden Club, we'll be sending out weekly signups for that as school comes to a close--this is a flexible gig and you help out when it's convenient for your schedule--after work, on weekends, whenever...it's a great way to stay connected to Burr after school ends!)
