Flowers! We will be planting flowers outside of our classroom windows. We are asking for parents to either donate $2 or a flat of flowers we can plant. If you choose to donate flowers, please send in petunias or impatients. Amy color is fine with us! We are also asking for donations of humus soil (or any compost soil). These can be found at Home Depot, Meijer, Lowes, or Walmart. If you are able to help us prepare the soil, please let us know. We are looking for 1-2 volunteers to help us on May 13. Please let your child’s teacher know if you are able to come up with a rake and turn the soil for us. Kindergarten is responsible for the areas outside of Mrs. Hodgkinson’s classroom, Mrs. Shami’s classroom, and the small section across the sidewalk in front of the end of Ms. Bazzy’s classroom. We need soil donations by May 12 and flowers by May 16.
Thank you for your help! If you would rather donate $2, please send that by Wednesday, May 11.
