Today I met some very enthusiastic 5th graders from Mr. D'Antonio and Ms. King's classes as we built three 4' x 10' raised beds.  These will be used to grow food for the elementary school.

After construction we filled each bed with soil that was donated by a parent.  Next spring we'll amend the soil with finished compost that is collected from lunches at the elementary and middle/high school buildings.

Hello people of all ages its D.B from Mr.D's class I am happy to see kids of all ages reading and having fun doing it to. You should read as many books as you can but don't read really fast because you will miss alot of inportant facts of details.

Hey Mr. Devoe. We just went out side and picked up lots of garbage we found in the woods. When we get back from spring-break, we will plant seeds in the garden and start growing our food!
