GARDEN WORK DAY, OCT. NOV. 2
(Sat) 8:30-11:30 AM
"A huge garden Mahalo to all those who showed up at our first garden workday last month. Many hands make light work and much was accomplished. Our school garden is thriving with kalo, lilikoi, ti , long squash and pigeon pea. Recently our garden adventures included our first graders preparing the soil in a few boxes, planted and watered in carrot seeds. Ms. Esteban’s class set a wonderful example of bringing an open mind by trying (and many enjoying) our first garden harvest of fresh homemade poi! The kindergartener's had fun learning our 4 agreements, experiencing our senses out in the garden & learning basic garden safety around garden insects! We are off to a great start and look forward to more garden fun and learning. I encourage parents to come say hello. I'm there on Monday's. Bring your aloha and join in our workdays with your keiki! See you in our awesome garden – Ms. Kat "
FUN RUN Why should you give? Without PTSA funds, there would be NO Wildcat Nights or Movie Nights NO Visual Arts or Creative Movement programs NO Pumpkin Patch or Santa’s Workshop NO May Day or 5th Grade Celebration NO Teacher funds for classroom supplies or excursion help and a whole bunch more…
EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS! When the Fun Run envelope comes home after Fall Break, please do your part to help the school. If not, we may need to say goodbye to some of these events or programs that are supported by the PTSA.
Wailuku Elementary Is a Title I School.
