This weekend, we built an edible schoolyard garden with a six foot fence on our campus (between behind the auto cage and the base of the steps from the courtyard- where our outdoor classroom used to be years ago) and began clearing out the flower beds in the front of the school by our main entrance. (there are only a few more feet to go on the flower bed- looking for a few volunteers this week to help finish that!) It was a great day that I got to share with some amazing people who worked to make our beautiful Brashear even more beautifulER!
