NELLIE'S GARDEN:
A special shout out this week to our students in Mrs. Inskeep's classroom for maintaining our new hydroponic gardening system. The system was obtained through a grant by Mrs. Swain and our students are now using it to grow different types of leafy plants. Through gardening, the students have a first hand experience learning how plants grow with the ability to see it before their eyes. We recently had a school wide vote to name the system and the winning name chosen by our students was "Nellie's Garden". We're excited to see what we can grow this year!

Last week our SRO (School Resource Officer) Adam Feichter spent time visiting our 1st grade classrooms. Officer Feichter's visit was part of our 1st grade curriculum learning about our community helpers. During his visit, he spoke about his responsibilities and answered questions from students. He then brought the students outside where they had an opportunity to look at the inside of a police car and all the gadgets it holds. Thank you Office Feichter for providing this great experience for our students.

Our hydroponic garden has officially been named as “Nellie’s Garden”! Thank you to all the students for voting!
The hydroponic garden was received as a grant from the Whole Foods Foundation and Lettuce Grow. Students will help Ms. Swain harvest the lettuce, then the plants chosen by a school vote will be planted and the cycle will start all over again! Thank you, Ms. Swain for facilitating this wonderful learning opportunity.
