EVENTS OR NOTICES

IT IS TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT FARM TO SCHOOL ACTIVITIES IN 2018

Even though all we can think about is winter right now, this is the time to start planning with Mrs. Smith for upcoming growing season activities - no matter how small, even if you just want to help garden somewhere for an hour.
  • Do you like harvesting delicious produce and using it in the family and consumer science kitchen or your classroom?
  • Do you like being outdoors for planting or weeding activities?
  • Do you like making our school beautiful with amazing flowers?

Please talk to Mrs. Smith about how she can come to your classroom and plan a special activity with you in this next growing season.  hsmith@maplerun.org

We are so lucky to have garden spaces and someone to help us enjoy them. LET'S TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BENEFIT FROM OUR FARM TO SCHOOL PROGRAM.
