Spring
Break 2011
Spring
Break 2011 begins at the end of the day, Friday, March 25th.
Have a wonderful, and restful, break. We wish you safe travels
as well!
The
Father Wilmoth Giving Garden
St.
Roch Catholic School has plans to break ground on a garden in the
spring of 2011. The Father Wilmoth Giving Garden will be
located on school grounds. It will be built and maintained by
children, adults, and teachers.
The
garden is moving forward. We continue to welcome any donations of
cardboard egg cartons and old cookie sheets. We’ll begin our
seeding with the students the week of March 7th.
The
construction of the compost bins is complete! Special thanks to
Jacob Allstott and Andy Farris for their fine handy work on building
the compost bin, and to Tony Gibson, Tina Hayes, and Andy Farris for
their donations of materials that made it happen. If anyone hasn't
seen the bin yet, stop by and check it out.
The
goal of this garden is to empower children with the knowledge and
experience in the practice of sustainable living, the art of letting
nature look after your waste, and the joy of growing from seed to
harvest.
Please
contact Susan Noone at nooners3@comcast.net
if you would like to help with this project.
