Dear Families,

The 4th graders had an excellent visit to the School Harvest Farm this morning. While we were there we learned about some of the health benefits of eating garlic and helped with planting about 15 lbs of seed garlic. The 4th graders seemed to really enjoy getting their hands dirty working at the farm and we are looking forward to spring when the garlic will be sprouting up out of the ground. I’ll put some of the pictures from today on the blog so you can see them in action.

If you haven’t signed up for a conference yet, please do. There are still several times available and our goal is to have 100% attendance at conferences.

Have a great week.

Dear Families,

Last Friday’s trip, to the Latchis Theater, to hear cartoonist Harry Bliss speak was great. I was very impressed by the way that the 4th graders behaved during the walk there and the presentation itself. They did an excellent job of representing Oak Grove!!
