Gardening Gloves Get Going

Funded Oct 6, 2021

THANK YOU for your donation once again.

We used the gloves you helped purchase starting on Friday, October 22nd when hundreds of students went outside to get the school garden ready for winter. The school garden was not touched and tended to over the course of the pandemic so to say it needed some TLC is an understatement.

We weeded 8 huge raised beds in the garden and cut back and weeded our school's front garden bed. It was a huge and very dirty project. The kids were very happy to help and it would NOT have been possible without those gardening gloves.

I had the classes involved in the project unbox and unwrap the gloves. They were asking why they needed them at first but after the project, they knew.

We will be using them for the growing season ahead outside and will be using them inside as we start seedlings in March and April of 2022.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Blum
