Parents, as the weather starts to warm, please make sure to remind your children to be respectful of the garden space outside. Recently, fences have been dismantled, bricks removed from garden plots, students are climbing on top of the pizza oven, and plants have been pulled out and tossed on the ground. In classes, students spend a lot of time working on these projects, and we want to make sure everyone is safe while outside.
