So it's been a little while since I've updated the page (partly because students have a break till September, and partly because I was in Hawaii...) but a lot has happened even while the kids are having summer break. 
The biggest news is that a volunteer work group from Ernst & Young Accounting Firm came out on August 4th and spent the day working on several projects. In the garden, they weeded and cleaned up debris in both courtyards; set up the irrigation drip system; transplanted a tree
to another area of the school and built a couple more beds in it's place; and painted a chess board on the playground blacktop.
We owe Ernst & Young a big thanks!
An article was also written about the article in the Portland Public Schools News. Check it out: Forgotten Garden Blooms Again
Another work party is set for this Saturday, the 22nd, as we gear up to start the new school year.
