In case you may have missed it, the Cape Cod Times came by on Friday to visit and see what clusters were all about. The link below will take you to the photo gallery from Cape Cod Times reporter and photographer Mr. Heaslip's visit.

A note from our Garden Committee:

It's time to start planning this spring's garden.  We will be meeting Tuesday, February 7th at 10am in the school library (please sign in at the office).  If weather allows we will hopefully take a walk through the garden.  

Things on the agenda to discuss:

• planning garden work and volunteers

• how will seeds be assigned this year?

• what do we need for supplies?

• sounds like teachers would like each student to bring a plant home and they would like to grow plants in classes (we need waterproof trays)

• parents are asking about a flower fundraiser that was done in the past, would anyone like to head that? (it can be online only and is all mailed to the houses :) )

• ways to relate garden to classes better

• greenhouse

• solar or wind power to power the shed.

• we have a shopping list of organizing supplies that would be nice.

• we have 6 beds that need to be rebuilt before kids can work in the garden and others may need some work
• whether the trailer is child-safe  or should it be disposed of

If you are interested in being in charge of any of these things and can't make the meeting please let me know. You can leave a message through the office. We are also hoping to get a volunteer from each class to help on planting days so please spread the word.

Thanks, 

Kelly D and the Garden Committee
