Reflections from Katie
This week is School Home Partnership Night. As you read this, you may be recovering from the event itself, or you may be getting prepared for it. However the event turned out for you, it is important to recognize that the Thursday night event is not, in and of itself, our partnership. Rather, the event is the launching of our partnership for the year. Hear more >>

CitySprouts News: Volunteers Needed
Volunteer With Your Child's Class to Help Press Apple Cider in the School Garden!
During our Annual Cider Pressing in October and November, we introduce children and teachers to the school garden by setting up an apple press and teaching kids how to make cider. We would love parent volunteers to help with setup, crowd control, and clean up. As a volunteer, you'll have the chance to sign up for a free raffle to win a fun family activity. Come enjoy fresh cider and see how much the kids love being outside in the garden. If interested, contact Andrea Locke at [email protected] OR contact your child’s teacher :)
