A huge thank you goes to all the parents and grandparents who helped St. Michaels's Garden program run beautifully in the 2012/13 school year. A big shout out to our classroom garden parents who plan and run the lessons for the students in our outdoor classroom. Your dedication to collect supplies, dig, plant, paint, draw, cook, water and manage students several times a month is so very important to keep our garden growing. To the many volunteers who supported Earth Week, Grandparents Day, Lunchroom Food Festivals, all of you make this garden program an exceptional experience for the kids and the community. Lastly, thank you to the volunteers who help with the maintenance of the garden. There is an endless amount of weeding, cleaning, pruning, harvesting, watering and more watering that takes place. We are blessed to have a community who values our garden-based education! May your summer garden grow bountiful. We look forward to our Harvest Festival in September to kick off the 2013/2014 school year.
