Reminders...
 Thank you to everyone who helped out and showed up for the Harvest Fest last Friday it was a lot of fun seeing those who came. For those of you who have not visited campus in some time we have currently started a school garden located right by our classroom. Students will be planting plants and tending the garden area as part of this project. Our class is responsible for planting and getting the plants for our area so parents any supplies, seeds or money you would like to donate would go a long way in making our garden area look great.

Our Garden So Far!
