Its a new school year, and we have lots of plans to make our school gardens more productive and beautiful. In addition we would like to see more students & teachers learning, exploring, cooking & working in the gardens. This takes a whole community effort to achieve !Please attend the GARDEN MEETING
This THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17TH AT 12:30 (right after school in the Kindergarten playground.)
If you are unable to attend the meeting but are interested in any of these opportunities, please email Amy Zink with all your information!!
Below we have put together four different area's of volunteer opportunities based on levels of commitment for our parents, grandparents, & family friends at SDCCS.
1)Open Volunteer Days (Super Flexible) *come anytime Monday or Thursday mornings to help (1/2 hour - 1 hour time commitment per week)
2)Weekly Water & Weed (Super Simple) (20 minutes per week on your time schedule)
*pick one or more area’s below*
☐Native plant bed, (next to the storage/janitorial room)
☐Succulent’s & potted plants (gardens around the auditorium)
☐Planter boxes (outside First & 4th Grade classrooms)
☐Newly planted trees
