Reminders for Friday, May 29
Help Needed - School Garden Watering for Summer:
We need a few families who can visit the school over the summer to water and harvest the garden. This involves two visits a week and usually one family takes a week. Watering takes about 30 minutes per session – morning or evening are best. If your family can help, please contact Sarah Howarth at 250-727-7006 or apollosimba@hotmail.com. Prior to the end of June there will a short orientation meeting for the teachers and families who will be involved.
