"We Are In Community..."

The title of this post is a reference to a line in the Orchard School song- "here we are, all together, we are in community...".  This feeling was so present during the preparation, running, and take down of our Spring Tag Sale.  You may know that the proceeds from the sale go directly to fund our gardens, but unless you've worked on the event you may not know how inspirational it is to see everyone pitching in to make it happen.  The event is just ONE of the ways that we teach environmental responsibility or the importance of taking care of the earth.  In the case of the Tag Sale, it's all about REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.  A group of highschool freshman, led by two seniors came to help cart items and sort clothes for the sale.  They also spent time in the classroom helping each K student to make a paper mache model earth.  Stay tuned for a future post when you can see the finished products!
