Harvest Dinner

The 4th graders at the Miles Lane School get to take care of the school garden. A few 4th grade students from each class were randomly picked to serve at a Harvest dinner this evening for a small group of administrators, school board members, and PTO officers. I went to the dinner with the other PTO officers and Emily was one of the 4th graders picked to serve, so that worked out perfectly. I brought Kate and Noah with me, so that was a bit stressful, but they ended up being very well behaved. We ate yummy vegetable soup, rolls, coleslaw, salsa, and cupcakes. Emily's class pulled up carrots from the garden and helped make the rolls for the dinner. Emily enjoyed serving and showing off the garden after the dinner. She also helped clean up after the dinner. Kate and Noah liked seeing the vegetables that are in the school garden. Kate thought it was neat that the school garden has tomatoes just like our garden. Yay for gardens!

Matt took Zoe, Eleanor, and Zach to Ellsworth this evening to clean the church. My Mom was there to help, too.

Before the dinner and cleaning, we watched Zoe's game. Zoe's team lost 1-2, but they felt good about the game because they played a tough team.

A school vegetable garden? That's a good idea. MDES has a butterfly garden (or at least they did, I guess I don't know if they still do or not) but no veggies.

that's so cool! Pedro's school has a garden that each grade has a part of, but what a great idea to have the kids prepare food from it!
