Students in Session 1 of the Green Thumbs summer school session found many delicious delectables in the school/community garden! They learned about types of gardens and container planting. They studied organic gardening, soil composition, insect pest control, composting, varieties of plants, and seed saving. They explored a daily mystery item from the garden & learned about the health benefits of growing produce.

Students in PE Potpourri have been very active these past two days. They've played musical chairs, tag, and done relays in the hallway. Sharks and minnows has been their absolute favorite game to play though! They have been having so much fun playing all their games that students always leave this class very tired and sweaty, as does Ms. Wagner!
Friendly reminder for all students to do their best in bringing a water bottle to summer school every day!
