PHOTO GALLERY: Fall Garden Fun Day

11/2/2015

 
The Miner PTO wishes to extend its most sincere appreciation to the parents, teachers, and friends of Miner who came out Sunday, November 1 to the school grounds to clean up the Peace Garden and the green space outside the Early Childhood Education rooms. The ECE space now has two new beautiful trees, and the soil is clean and amended in preparation for spring planting and development of a formal learning garden. The Peace Garden has been weeded and cleaned, and the beds harvested and replanted with winter crops and herbs.  Over the winter, the PTO is going to be investigating partnerships to bring the Peace Garden back to full use in the spring. If you would like to help with the Miner garden effort, email us at minerpto@gmail.com.
