Summer's Almost Here

The weather doesn't feel like it, but the empty classrooms sure tell the story. Summer vacation has arrived. We were very lucky with the weather on Tuesday that we could get the garden planted with our pumpkin and sunflower seedlings. The 3rd graders and the JK students teamed up once more to plant the seedlings they started from seeds two weeks ago. The seeds sprouted very quickly inside the greenhouse, and we had beautiful, healthy seedlings to plant in the great soil that Mr. Jacobs (7th grade science) had rototilled up for us. There was just the right amount of moisture in the soil, and we planted almost 120 containers of pumpkin seedlings, and about 10 sunflowers. Let's hope that conditions remain favorable for the rest of the summer and that we have a gigantic harvest next fall. Stop by the pumpkin patch any time you are on campus this summer and check it out. There will be updates posted throughout the summer, too, so you can check the progress. Have a great summer, everyone!
