LAST CHANCE FOR LOST & FOUND ITEMS

OUR LOST & FOUND HAS ONCE AGAIN PILED UP.  PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO CHECK TO SEE IF ANYTHING BELONGS TO YOUR CHILD.  EVERYTHING WILL BE DONATED TO

GOOD WILL ON FRIDAY, JUNE 8.

UPDATE ON THE SCHOOL/COMMUNITY GARDEN

Water will be brought to the garden site and ground will be leveled a bit June 19-21.  Fencing will be completed June 26-28.

 So, we will be ready for your help.  Mark your calendars!

We invite you (parents, students, teachers, community members) for a WORK DAY to create our school garden!

WHEN:  Monday, July 1 9am to 1pm (and possibly Tuesday, July 2nd 9am to 1PM if needed)

WHERE: below the B on the west side of the lower parking lot on the hillside between the schools and the football field

WHAT TO BRING: shovel and/or rake if available, snacks to share, water bottle, willingness to get dirty

We will be doing ground prep, positioning the raised beds, laying down cardboard and marking pathways.

 Thank you to Dwight Lamm, Montana CAD, who is graciously donating the soil and the transportation/placement of the soil  for the raised beds when we are done.  We are hoping to get a lot of volunteers on July 1 to make sure the beds are ready.

We are also still accepting donations of gently used garden items such as hoses, shovels and rakes, hand shovels and hand rakes, glazed decorative pots, etc.

 We are hoping to plant carrots that could be served in our school’s cafeteria.

THANK YOU to our sponsors:  Friends of Bigfork Schools, Flathead Electric, TeleTech, Community Foundation For A Better Bigfork, Dairy Queen, Tom and Pat Nadeau, Flathead Bank, Swan River Gardens, Sliter’s ACE, Northwestern Agricultural Research Center, MonaRae Tuhy, and community members who supported our Flower Power fundraiser and Fun Run.

I would love to hear any ideas or suggestions you may have for the garden and/or High School Gardening Club!
