Planting Garlic and Strawberries
Many people don't realize that certain plants should be planted in October to grow properly in the following spring and summer. Garlic and strawberries are two of these kinds of plants. Because the soil in this portion of the garden is poor, topsoil from the Hudak composting operation was added to the garden beds prior to planting. Students from Team USA volunteered to assist Mrs. Smith in getting these tasks done.

More Kindergarteners have a Chance to Make Pumpkin Muffins
On Monday 10-26-2015 Mrs William's and Mrs. Scott's classes visited the family and consumer science kitchen to prepare pumpkin muffins.  The photos show Mrs. Smith orchestrating the cooking experience.  As with previous classes, the muffins were delicious. Local pumpkin, eggs and butter were used in the treats.
