Edible School Yard Celebration
On Thursday, November 7th students, teachers, volunteers and neighbors at Hamilton/SOTA Early Learning Center came together to celebrate the completion of the Edible Schoolyard!
To signify the completion everyone in attendance was given an apple, donated by Van Lin Orchards, to take a bite in unison.
Students lead tours around the garden after the celebration.
Thank you to all of our sponsors who made this event possible.

We can not wait to start our next lesson at Hintgen Elementary, Cultural Connection. This lesson will involve a cultural presentation of native plants and language. And, students have the opportunity to have special guest Tracy E., a local artist, to create multi-lingual garden signage and rock painting with the students.
This is made possible by the La Crosse Community Foundation. Lessons will connect culture, conversation, and student voice.  This is one of the signage posts that will be decorated by the students and then placed into the garden. |
