Emma's Last Day: For Now

A birthday and a production! Classes gathered on March 16th to surprise her before the class went to get some well-deserved nature time after the first round of their play 'Giraffe's Don't Dance' to the whole school community. We are so incredibly excited for her and her partner to welcome their bundle of joy, but will miss her terribly. Emma's love and dedication that she puts into her craft is undeniable. Goodbye for now.

Students Participate in Community Garden at Spectrum Farms

Linda’s class at Wildflower Creston has been working on a community garden at Spectrum farms, who received a grant to help bring pollinators to the gardens – inclusive of butterflies. The students learned a gardening technique of laying cardboard, straw, fill, manure, and soil (lasagna style); planted the seed, sang their incredible Pollinator song, and now are waiting for the sprouting to begin. The class learned about the importance of bees and other pollinators as well has how life depends on them.

The new Nelson classroom is up and running and is a top nautch bright and airy space which is optimal for the young grades 2-6’s who get to share in the vast room.
