🌞🌱 Spring is in the air, and our students are making the most of the beautiful weather! During recess—and even some FLEX periods—they’ve been spending time in the garden with our friends from the Edible Classroom. 🌿🌻 The other day, students got creative and painted brand-new signs to label different areas of the garden! 🎨🖌️ We can't wait to see their hard work brighten up our growing space. 🌼🌽 #OutdoorLearning #EdibleClassroom #SpringInTheGarden #HandsOnLearning

What’s the best way to celebrate Pi Day?
