- Adult mentor search. Are you interested in being a mentor to a student? We are searching for a few dedicated adults to work on a project, play games, or have lunch with a student. The key is common interests and a commitment from you. If interested please contact Heidi: heidi@springwaterschool.com.
- Katie is in search of old picture frames in sizes 8.5 x11 or larger. If you have any in the house, garage, attic please consider donating them. Students may bring the frames to Katie in the learning lab.

Garden progression
June 13, 2014 by
During the 2013 Fall Harvest Festival at Springwater, students and parents worked hard pulling weeds in the last part of the school garden. The spiky thistle, deep-rooted dock, and thick grasses grew too high for us to walk through, let alone plant anything in! Thanks to their efforts, the work of the Foxes classes, and Enrichment groups, we were able to sheet mulch the last half of the garden this spring. We have worked hard transforming this space into a new orchard space for the school, planting fruit trees and a variety of perennial plants. Take a look at how we sheet mulched and developed each piece of the orchard space, below:

The tomato and basil beds are in, there are a couple dozen types of lettuce growing, and kale is already being munched on by eager students.

We have plants in the ground! This week, both Salmon classes put in the first plants we can expect in the springtime: garlic bulbs! We hope to continue planting garlic and flower bulbs in the next few weeks, as well as finish our mulching process in the garden before Christmas Break. Keep your eyes out for notice about the big mulching day in a few weeks. [Read more…]
