Latest News

The school recently celebrated the opening of new "teaching gardens." These are raised beds where students will learn about science, farming, and how to take care of the environment all year long. Teachers say that the gardens will be a part of what students learn in class, which will make lessons more fun and hands-on and connect plants, soil, and real-world science. The school is still a great place to be kind and give. The most recent round of the yearly "Project Warm-Up" just ended.
