Flower (& Fruit) Power!

Purple and Pink and Peach and Plum and Pumpkin and Puce and Pine…Oh, My!

It is time for our Montessori community Pansy and Viola Sale!

Order beautiful flowers for your garden, for Mother’s Day, for the Pioneer Home or for a secret May Day gift (remember the tradition of secretly giving a neighbor or friend flowers on their porch or door on the first day of May).
Flowers come in 4inch [pots, are local and hardened off. The cost is $2.50 per pot. Order forms went home last week with your child, but you can also order on line at: http://www.juneaumontessori.org/PansyFundraiser.html

Rhubarb and And Jams… Oh, My!

All year the elementary and adolescent students have been at work with two grants aimed at helping us understand botany, good eating habits, and gardening.  We are nearing the conclusion of these projects but…have run out of enough local goods to help us with our last project: baking a shared edible.

Will you check your freezers for last season’s rhubarb and any berries? We are also looking for local jams, jellies, and syrups that can be used in this project.

If you have any of these wonderful goods – please send them in with your child. No contributions too small!

 

Monday April 23 is an Early Release Monday.

 

Save the date: The Ancestor Project is coming up next week – Thurs. May 3 at 5:30.

We hope to see you there at this cool and amazing evening presented by the 6th graders and it will be a remarkable evening!
