March 12th, Saturday
9:00 am to 3:00 pm
McKinley Garden Build Day
We have approval from the district to go ahead with Phase one!
Dirt will be delivered Friday afternoon, and Thad will be cutting up boards. Do you have a power drill and want to help? Contact Thad for more info on that.Saturday morning will begin the first steps in creating a school garden at McKinley! After lots and lots of conversations, meetings, and more conversations, we are ploughing ahead. A big thank you to everyone involved. We have been able to move from just talking about a garden to really building one thanks to all your energy, time and support. The raised beds will be built, installed and filled with the parents, students and volunteers that show up on Saturday. We will also be installing a short fence to designate the garden area from the playground area.
There will be coffee, hot chocolate and donuts for our early morning workers. Pizza will come for the afternoon shift, with snacks and water in between to sustain the energy of our volunteers. There will be activities for school age kids when they get tired of shoveling and pushing wheel barrows.
Come celebrate the McKinley School Community and what are energy and ideas can accomplish!
If you are planning on coming, and you have garden tools you could bring, these are some things we need:
wheel barrows shovels post hole diggers
brooms work gloves
