A Look at Our New Sanctuary Garden- Located at 1020 East 10th Street!

Celebrating 145 Years of Service!

Our friends from GE generously

supported this project, both financially

and through their extensive volunteer

efforts, which included: cleaning the

garden area, installing the privacy

fence, assembling our playground area

and picnic tables, building garden

boxes and even teaching our kids the

science of gardening and proper

planting skills!

Check out our colorful garden boxes and a few photos of

us planting vegetables for our future community garden!

The Erie Federal Credit Union and Charities for Children,

Inc. helped to fund the garden boxes, and we were so

excited to have the guidance of Lee Steadman from

BLOOM Collaborative on how to design these boxes- each

of our six classes got to decorate their own box and plant

their own veggies!

Now that our Sanctuary Garden looks so nice, our

next step is to replace the old, dilapidated fence

around the remainder of our lot on East 10th Street.

We hope to complete this project before the

students come back to school in August!

And our garden wouldn’t be complete without a beautiful sign at the entrance!

Our students and staff give a big THANK YOU to our

friends at GE, Erie Federal Credit Union, Charities for

Children, Inc., BLOOM Collaborative and Yerace

Glass for making this Sanctuary Garden a reality!
