How Proud Can a Teacher Be???

Yesterday, my 7th period science class finished a BIG project. After harvesting over 25 gallon bags stuffed full of lettuce, kale, spinach, Swiss chard, beets, carrots, and radishes, celebrating with a wonderful salad party, and culminating with the long-awaited, much-promised water fight, my students donated the rest of their produce (over 20 gallons) to the Rescue Mission. (yes, Jon, it was your idea a LONG time ago) Miss Scott delivered it for us after school, and we hope they enjoyed it as much as we did. As we said, not everybody gets to eat stuff fresh out of a garden, and ours was really, really good.

What a great class. What a great experience. We left our compost "can" in its special place near the school, with hopes to return next fall to find rich new soil to add to our garden. It makes it hard to leave school and eager to return...
With love, Mrs. Sellers

Boxerwood Gardens

Our 7th period class went on a field trip to Boxerwood Gardens. We took a bus; it was one hour and 10 minutes until we got there, but it was worth it. When we got there we put our lunches in back of a car and then we started our tour. First we saw the crow's nest, then Hunter took us to the angel statue. We went in the greenhouse; it had fish in there and n.e.w.t.s. The other group saw a black snake but not in the green house. After that we had lunch and we saw Uda the boxer dog. Then we saw the zig zag bridge and the great oak. By Shane
