The title of this post takes it's name from a line in the Orchard School Song. Did you know we have one? We sing it at our all school morning meetings every other Friday! Here are a little bit of the lyrics:
"Here we are /altogether / we are in community / we are one, here at Orchard / altogether in unity"
So lets start in our room- the classroom community! Here's a look at our new rug.
Moving outside to the courtyard... we like to think we share this space with the Fairies! Here you can see us building enchanted, small places to attract fairies (some children even left notes) and also helping out by pulling up old sunflowers because it's the end of the season.
Moving out from our "epicenter", this week we had our first Farm to School Session. Carol McQuillen (former Orchard teacher and current director of Common Roots) and her team deliver carefully planned, hands-on lessons about nutrition and nourishment from the farm. Here are some pictures of our crew doing Apple Yoga, reading an apple story, and chopping and pounding to make apple butter!
And now for the Fun Run- where the community joined US and we're all doing our part to raise our spirits, our fitness, and our funds for Orchard! Here is a little time line from start to finish.
