School Wrap Up

The kids' last week of school was crazy busy. On Wednesday, Warren and I went to school for "Evergreen Cafe." The elementary kids turned their classroom into a restaurant for the day. They each had a job--server, hostess, busboy, etc. The menu featured eggs, bacon, fruit, French toast, fresh squeezed orange juice, and coffee. You could have whatever you wanted for $4. It was the best deal in town! It was really cute watching the kids "work."




After lunch, we got a tour of the gardens, which are looking awesome thanks to the kids' hard work and their fearless leader, Miss Emma. They are growing herbs, broccoli, snap peas, squash, tomatoes, chard, and lots of other good stuff. After a one week break, Cooking and Gardening Camp starts. The kids will be making their own lunches and preparing veggies and other items to sell at the Cooper Young Farmer's Market.



The school also got eight Rhode Island Red chickens and one rooster. They immediately started laying eggs and we got to bring home the first one!



Thursday was the end of the year program. Highlights included Jiro boldly taking the mic and saying his quote loud and proud; Jiro getting inducted into the elementary class with an official tie dye t-shirt; Satchel standing closest to the mic during his classes' song, and Satchel being presented a bronze medal for his score on the National Mythology Exam.
