Last week we harvested all our vegetables from our school garden! The Second Graders grew corn, lima beans, carrots, tomatoes, and onions. Other classes had different vegetables including lettuce, peppers, beans, zucchini and flowers. We used these vegetables to make soup and salad for a special Soup and Salad night at school! We raised money at the Soup and Salad night to give to students in Sierra Leone, Africa to buy new computers for their school. We raised $1,900, which is enough to buy 8 computers for their school! We felt good about doing this because we know we are helping them. We also planted lettuce and radishes this week, to grow for a Farmer's Market in the fall. We can raise more money for the students in Sierra Leone then! Questions for our Readers: (Remember, first names only and no personal information like your last name, address, phone number, or future plans!)

This morning we had the "Grow-Breaking" Ceremony for our Vermont School Garden! The whole school met outside, along with parents. Because we are using the harvest from our garden to help support the Empowering Children and Youths School in Sierra Leone, Africa, we even skyped them into the ceremony! Every class planted a wish stick with a wish that we have for the school. The whole school sang "Let it Grow" from the movie The Lorax. Mr. Knepp did the ceremonial dig and planted a seed. The fourth graders read a poem, and then the school in Sierra Leone sang a song that they wrote to thank us! It was a great ceremony! Below you can see pictures from today and watch an amazing video Mrs. Overn put together that chronicles the planning and creation of our garden this year. Watch for our class! |
