Lower School’s Enrichment Program will include a Garden Club in the Spring/Fall 2014. The club will offer an opportunity for students in grades 2-5 to learn to grow and harvest their own food using the school’s outdoor garden beds. We are planning on growing a number of vegetables to harvest in the spring and other vegetables which we will harvest in the fall: Garden Plan. The produce may be used in the cafeteria and packed into the weekend back-pack program for families. We will also grow some flowers that the students will use to beautify the school grounds.
VOLUNTEERS - Parents / Families - NEEDED: Contact Alice Gold
We are looking for parents who would like to volunteer to assist during Enrichment period, which is 2:45-3:45 on Mondays and Thursdays. The spring club runs from the end of April until June break. The fall program, we believe, will run from September through November.
We also are looking for parents who would like to help tend the garden. Since there are no enrichment programs during the summer months, we need people at that time to help weed, make sure the garden is watered and fall crops are planted. We could also use assistance during the spring and fall to back up the children since the club will only meet two days a week.
Some gardening experience would be helpful, but is not necessary.
