School News   

Our Friday, May 27 Neon Spring Blast will feature a toy table this year.  This is a great chance to do some spring cleaning and clear out those items your kids don't play with anymore... So that you can make room for new ones!  Any gently used children's toys and books would be greatly appreciated and can be dropped off in the multi purpose room.  Thank you! Please also consider how your family can support the silent auction with a donation. 

Nominations for PAC Executive for 2016-2017 school year will be held in May.  Watch for nomination information to come out soon. 

Recipes & Tips

Here’s a tip for you gardeners now that Spring is here: 

GARLIC INSECTICIDE 

To control aphid, leaf hoppers and other small insects, spray with garlic solution. 

Chop one whole bulb of garlic and soak if for a day in 4 TBS. of vegetable oil.

Add 1 quart of water and ½ Tbs. of biodegradable soap.

FOR EXTRA KICK: boil two hot peppers in 2 quarts of water until the liquid is reduced to half its volume. Add to the garlic/vegetable oil mixture. 

Dilute 1 part of this solution to 4 parts of water and spray on the plants.

This mixture is harmless to all plants including edibles.

Plant chives, garlic, onion or parsley near roses: protects against black spot, mildew and aphids.
