Happy New Year!


The Cale School Garden Club is starting back up next Tuesday, September 4th, 2012.  Mr. V. will be back this year, and I believe I've talked Mr. Ferguson (music teacher, extension activities teacher, and all around swell guy) into joining us as well.  

We have a lot of cleaning up to do, so we’d better get started as soon as possible. This fall we’ll spend some time cleaning out the garden, growing some indoor greens, and planning what we’d like to plant in the spring.  If we can get everything looking good fairly quickly, there are a couple of new spots we can think about planting, as well.

We’ll be meeting on Tuesday afternoons right after school in my room (E-101).  We’ll get going at 2:30 and end at 3:30.  For now, there is no late bus leaving Cale, so the kids will need to be picked up.  Kids can be picked up in my room, but we'll wander up to the front hall by 3:35.

Please note, once the other clubs officially begin later in the fall,  some of the kids might want to take a break from the garden to do another club.  They are most welcome to do that and will be welcome to come back after the other clubs end.  We’ll being running garden club through December, will take the month January off, and will resume in February.

One last thing, we'll have our annual Fall Garden Party on Saturday, October 6th.  Details will be coming in the next few weeks.

I'm sending home permission letters tomorrow!  Can't wait to see everyone in the garden!
