Last week, we were celebrating going green and this week we are growing green. Our 5th grade students are growing winter vegetables and learning about decimals at the same time! They designed and planted this week. Mrs. Pike (our local garden expert) helped them figure out how far apart and how deep to plant the seeds. Later, our crops will be for sale. Keep an eye out for these budding gardeners and stay tuned for updates on when their winter crops will be available for purchase! 🪏🪴🫜

Happy Friday! We hope you enjoy the wonderful weekend.
