The School Garden Club will begin this next week, on Thursday, November 17th.  There will be two groups, meeting on Thursday or Friday, after school from 3:15- 4:15 p.m.  It is open to 3rd-5th graders.  The students will be maintaining the garden (weeding, irrigating, and mulching), learning how to create different kinds of gardens, cooking meals with the food from the garden, and learning about nutrition.
