Save the Date for Ormondale's 4th Annual Farmer's Market
| |
Top Ten Reasons to Come to the Second Grade Farmers' Market!
- It is the most exciting thing to do on Friday, May 20th from 4-6.
- It's been a hard week and you don't want to cook. You are going to get dinner from Mogo BBQ or Red Sauce Meatballs. Then the family will cool off with a Kona Shave Ice.
- You need to soak and relax in a bath. Don't despair. The market will have botanical products like herbal bath bombs to help you repair.
- The tooth fairy can't find your child's tooth. The market will be selling a limited amount of tooth pillows, so the fairy will never be scolded again.
- You've been watching too much Food Network. You think you are a chef and are in need of herbs, fruits, and veggies.
- You want to leave a mark at Ormondale. You can decorate a tile that will be on display in the school garden.
- You don't know what is growing in your garden (like Mrs. Wong). The market is just the place to purchase bead plant markers, signs, or plant starts to start fresh.
- Your home is very plain and needs a little color. Yarn wreaths, clay animals, birdhouses, stepping stones, mushroom stools/plant stands, and tie dye will add a little pep!
- You are curious about just how good PVSD's music program is and want to hear students sing live.
- You love Ormondale, want to support the children, and see the garden continue to grow!!!
