We’re kicking off our school garden project and need your help to make it happen! On July 29th from 3:30-5:30 PM, we invite students to bring the suggested "seedling" listed for their grade level.
You can:
- Drop off seedlings
- Help plant
- Pull weeds
Every bit of help counts! Let’s come together to create a beautiful and educational space for our students.
We hope to see you there!


🎆🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July, Everyone! 🇺🇸🎆
