Wednesday: Green Team Vegetable Sale

The PYP/MYP green team will be having our first garden sale of the year.  It is a small one but a good one!

We will have packages of fresh organic veggies grown by our PYP and MYP students for sale in the Center Foyer at 4:00 PM on Wednesday.  Don’t miss it!

Missing Garden Hose Nozzle

A black and yellow hose nozzle has been removed from the community garden.  Please see the picture below for reference.  It went missing between Friday 2:30 PM and Saturday 10:00 AM.

If you have the nozzle or know what happened to it please contact me because not having it makes watering very difficult in the garden.  Thank you.
