Our Gardening Committee had their First Fall Planting!

IMG_1296On Friday November 8th, our 278 Parents and Kids dug up the dirt around the trees on 220th so that the kids could plant the daffodil bulbs around our new tress.  A HUGE thank-you to all of the parents who helped out with the Fall Bulb Planting Event today.  It was super fun and the kids and teachers seemed really into it and appreciative of the opportunity to play in the dirt and experience nature.
