Tomorrow is our first Junior Master Gardener Club meeting of the school year!

Because it a multi-level group of ages and new students, I will do a little activity that will involve the students getting to know each other. Then we will head outside and talk about what happened in the garden over the past 5 months and if there is time we will pull some weeds and dead plants. Next month we will plant our fall/winter garden. Ultimately, I would like to have something that will sucessfully overwinter that we can nibble on and share.

Tomorrow, I plan on serving boiled (organic, free-range) eggs and whatever Falcon Club would like to share. I will contact parents that have indicated sending snacks in the subsequent months ahead.

Please make sure students are dressed for getting dirty…gloves, hats, sturdy shoes, water bottles, and sunscreen are recommended.Tomorrow’s forecast is 82 and partly cloudy.

Now that we are meeting upstairs in the STEM Lab, students will bring their backpacks to the breezeway before we head to the garden. Students will be expected to take and bring back tools from our storage space in the breezeway. We should be finishing by 4:30, but it may take us a few minutes to get organized and put the tools away. They should wash their hands before they head to the car. You are welcome to walk up and pick up your child. Please make sure that I make eye contact with you. You can also park in the circle and will I walk them to the car.

If you have any questions, please let me know. JMG is always fun and exciting. I look forward to working with the students outside the library and in the garden!
