Garden winterizing-Let the compost begin!
The focus, determination, and enthusiasm was in full force today as first graders chopped plants for the compost bin. After a brief discussion of the cycles of the garden, we got to chopping and tearing away like wild Tasmanian devils. We even dug up some more potatoes.
We won a cooperative spirit grant for $500!
This amazing grant will allow us to purchase extra seeds and compost to grow organic starter plants to donate. Orca students can have a hand in the growing of hundreds (or thousands) of pounds of produce that will be donated to foodbanks. Watch the video announcing our win at:
This grant was sponsored by Seattle Metropolitan Credit Union. Out of over 100 submissions, only 4 organizations received cash awards. Go green team!
