Oh Happy Day! (#2)

Oh Happy Day!!!!

Oh Happy Day!  Can you hear me singing?  The 1st graders were blessed by having two parents come in and help me in the garden today.  Wendy Gasch and Candice Hodges-Palmer.  It was a great time.  Lots of muddy, smiley kiddos!  Here are some kids planting potatoes.  Thank you, Candice for taking the pictures!  :)  Sorry I didn't get a picture of every student!

8th graders to the rescue!

I was so happy today when some of the 8th grade girls offered to skip GYM and help me with the 2nd graders in the garden.  It was clear they had done this before (yes, they remembered from planting previous years &/or in their home gardens).  I was so thankful!  I know that the 2nd graders loved having their help as well!

Below are two pictures:  The first one is some of the kids planting marigolds.  The second picture is a picture of "Caden's Corner".  His big sister, Kara (8th grader), helped the 2nd graders plant purple pansies in "his" corner.

We are alive and well!

Hey everyone!  I am so sorry that I have not updated this in so long.  Over the weekend, former student Brad Stram (and his family) built raised beds for the garden.  This was his Eagle Scout project.  I can hardly wait to get my fingers in the dirt!  :)  I hope to keep pictures more up-to-date, but don't hold me to it!  Take care, Kim
