Parr Lumber has donated 2000 linear feet of material for McKinley to use in the School Garden.
Thank you Darryl for all your support and work for the garden project!
Now comes the fun part! Phase one of our school garden will include some raised beds outside of room 4. We are in the process of crossing our t's and dotting our i's and submitting all the paperwork necessary to move forward this Spring.
Stay tuned for updates and how to get involved!
ALSO--check out the new link to Oregon Department of Education's Farm to School site. Lots of information to get you thinking about school gardens and good food in the cafeteria.
ALSO--Several of us attended a meeting in at CREST, an environmental-science education program, in Wilsonville Jan. 12th. The talk was focused around resources to support school gardens, and how you connect the garden to classroom curriculum. There is a very large educational garden on-site, and they are doing some really interesting things with the grounds. Pictures to come!
