Garden Updates
The next garden workday is on Sunday, February 1st from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Last month, over 14 students worked with Mr. Nettles, who propagated over 40 native plants, and volunteers planted them in the Habitat Garden along with some native bulbs too. All ages are welcome, but kids must be supervised by an adult. Farmer Marianne's simple garden recipes with ingredients from the Bay Farm Garden are posted on the PTSA website. |

Tillman Park/Kofman Pkwy Reminders Many families are avoiding the loop by dropping off or parking near Tillman Park. Thank you for choosing an alternate route! There have been dangerous behaviors here, so please:
The Kofman Pkwy & Aughinbaugh section is changing! Please follow the new configuration (a single lane) and look both ways before turning onto Aughinbaugh! |
