🦅🌱The Spalding Winter Sowing Lesson is next week on February 17th after school. We invite all adults and students to come learn how empty milk containers become mini greenhouses that will grow seedlings for our garden. Thank you to those that have already donated empty milk containers by the front office.  You still have time to bring more this week to help make our lesson a success!  More containers = more plants!  Hope to see you there!
