BMS Garden Update

As many of you know, students have been working hard on our School Garden project.  Led by Grade 3 Teacher Amy Donahoe, staff and students planted seeds last winter in classroom containers, which were transplanted outside in the spring.  All summer long families have volunteered to take turns tending the garden, weeding and watering, and harvesting crops as they were ready.  Our summer produce was often donated to the Berlin Food Pantry.

Fall is here, and our pumpkins and gourds are coming of age.  Today we enjoyed pumpkin cookies made from the pumpkins we started as seeds so long ago.

This has been a great experience for our students, and we are already hard at work planning for the spring planting season.
