Wow !  Busy  Week!  I'm working  a  full day  at  the  school now and  so    things  are  changing  a lot.  Throughout  the  summer  it  was  just  me  doing  my  thing,  planting,  tending,  observing  and  maintaining , but the  garden  is  there  for  the    kids  and  the  teachers  and  the  staff   and  I'm  in  a  position  to  promote  it.   Valle  Crucis  is  a  great school   with   a  diverse   group  of kids  and  some  amazing  teachers  and  staff  members  and  each  day
I'm  meeting  more  and  more  of  them.  Whenever  I  can,  I  suggest  heading  down  to   check  out  our  "Secret  Garden"    The  door  has  been  unlocked  and  I   have  a preliminary  sign   on  the  door.   We  have  some  nice  weather  still  ahead  of  us  so  I'm  hoping to  increase  use  and  awareness  of  a   really  cool    garden.  
         Met  Sawyer,  the  aftercare  director  and  I plan  to   do  a  afternoon   of  garden  activities  with  any  of  his  interested  kids.   Dropped  of   some nice potted  tomatillos  for  Sarah  Herman's  Pre-k    garden  and we  are  hoping  to  get    some  fall lettuce  going  and some  "fast  track"  red  cabbage.   The  "Little  Diggers" spot  has     some  beautiful pumpkins, kale, tomatoes,  cosmos,  and  jumbo  sun  flowers.   
Sarah  Bohn and  Lindsey  Postelwaite  are  the  new  AIG  and art  teacher  respectively.  Trying  to  work  with  them  to    do   some   fun  projects.  Can  we    get  a  mural  done  on  the  side  of  the  oil  tank?  Keep  you  posted.
