Garden Update 

The entire second grade just made the delicious Pali Pesto recipe! All classes came to the garden to harvest the basil they planted back in May, before school broke for summer.  

 

We had an amazing harvest of large basil plants. The kids tasted the basil leaves and most agreed they tasted spicy.
Many parents came to help the kids make the pesto and eat it, too. Every child brought a jar of the yummy stuff home to share with their families.

 Next, we will be learning about Native American Foods with the third graders.  They will be harvesting tomatoes, jalapenos, and limes from our garden to make salsa.    
STAY TUNED for PUMPKINS...

The Pali Giving Campaign is the biggest fundraiser for Palisades Enrichment Programs ("PEP"). The money raised goes towards funding critical programs that provide the children of Palisades Elementary the exceptional education they receive today. Find out more about how our contributions enrich our children's education HERE.

 

Typically these programs cost PEP around $1,200 per student. We ask families to donate at least $1,000 per student. We also are asking that families, who are able to invest in our children's education, give at a Silver Level of $1,250 per student; at a Gold Level of $2,750 per family; or at a Platinum Level of $5,000 per family.

 

Every donation is important. Our goal is 100% participation. Please contribute today!
