The First Grade Gardening Day is Sunday, March 6, from 2 to 4 p.m. It's YOUR turn to get a little dirt under your nails and help prep the garden for spring. This fun afternoon will include scavenger hunt with prizes, plus snacks and drinks from Whole Foods.

And don't forget THE GARDEN CONTEST! The sponsoring grade with the biggest turnout of students for their Garden Work Day wins a party--either pizza or ice cream-- at the end of the year. So tell your friends (especially your fellow first graders), bring your family and spend a great afternoon outdoors. As always, all other grades are welcome. Contact Saor Stetler (sstetler@earthlink.net) for more information.
