A big thank you to our McKinley PTO for bringing Briar Bush to our 2nd grade class! The students learned about the "ingredients" that make up soil and had the opportunity to add those items to create their own soil mixture. They also discussed the vital role that soil plays in supporting all living things. It was a fantastic and educational experience for everyone!
Come out on Sunday October 20th and help clean up the garden! We are hoping that with the help of parent and high school volunteers, the garden can open for visits soon! Can't make this date? No problem. Reach out to the PTO for availability. Click the following link to sign up to help on Sunday: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C44AEA823AAFFC70-45521279-garden
