TODAY:
Ninth graders sported safety goggles and gloves while they connected a grid of irrigation pipes with plumbing glue. Thanks to Matt Baer for laying the foundation for our watering system!
A host of kinder, first and second graders sampled fresh parsley and red chard from our two thriving raised beds - plantings courtesy of team member Chris Wrasse - before digging in with hands, shovels and weeding instruments to uproot a host of weeds. Every child - without exception - begged for more time to work! Elizabeth Jebef will return next week, during recess, to allow emerging green thumbs to weed and dig in the dirt during playtime.
COMING UP:
In March, Phil will be working with ninth graders to construct a split rail fence and entryway which will separate the playground from the orchard and garden space - a safety requirement.
Full speed ahead!
