You've Watched the Garden Grow - Please Help Keep It Thriving Over the Summer!!



A note regarding summer volunteers from science teachers Nancy Henry and Tina Reres:

Have you been watching our garden grow? We have harvested broccoli rabe, radishes, carrots, and lettuce already this spring! Peas and more carrots are on the way; squash is around the corner!

As school draws to an end, we are proud of what the children, teachers and parents have been able to accomplish together in a few months' time. We’re looking forward to what more we can accomplish together over the summer and into the fall when we welcome our children and families back.

We are looking for volunteers for the summer to water, harvest and plant. We want to keep the garden thriving in anticipation of a PS 29 harvest festival in late fall. If you’re available for even a day here and there to water the garden, then please sign up.

Indicate your availability on the click-and-print form above. We encourage you to involve your children. The farm chores most days will take no more than one hour. When planting is required, we’ll organize several families and volunteers to pitch in.

Please leave your hand-written response in Nancy or Tina’s mail box in the Main Office. Once we are able to work out a schedule we will contact you to re-confirm your availability and assign you a specific day(s) of the week with instructions about caring for the garden.

Thank you for all of your help and support!!
