  2. Enter the school ID: DEL201 (3 letters/3 numbers)

  4. Keep your online confirmation as your receipt.
That's it! Your students' supplies will be delivered to the school before the first day.

What's on Your Wish List? Tell Us in the Parent Survey

Thanks to the generosity of parents, our Spring Gala fundraiser helped to create a budget surplus. Using comments and input from parents in our March parent survey, we compiled a list of options for allocating the excess funds.What'll it be? Art exhibits? Musical assemblies? Filtered water dispensers? New playground equipment? A bonus field trip for every class? You tell us! Take the survey if you haven't already. (If you have, thanks for your input!)
In the Garden: That's a Wrap!

Friday, June 9th, was the last Garden Club meeting of the school year, so we kicked back and enjoyed the fruits of our labor. Literally. With fresh peaches plucked from our very own peach tree, students made Peach Granita. Wearing gloves to keep their hands from getting too cold, students worked in teams to massage the ice bath containing the home made granita mix. It was divine and the kids had a blast making it! For those not quite in to peaches, we also made blueberry and lemon granita. We tasted all the flavors and all three were declared favorites!

Well wishes were abundant for our 6th grade gardeners who were thanked and sent off with their very own "garden" cookies. We'll miss you and wish you all the best in your future - gardening, and otherwise. Come visit sometime ;)

The star of our farm stand at pick-up on Friday was our peaches. Over a hundred pounds of freshly harvested, juicy white-fleshed peaches. We also offered tastes of lemon verbena tea, dried lemon verbena leaves, garlic on a lovely braid, onions, Bright Lights and Giant Fordhook chard, Red and White Russian and Lacinato kale, zucchini, spring salad mix, and parsley. 

Thank you - again - to all the garden helpers this year, but most especially to Stephanie Murphy, our garden coordinator. Our garden has absolutely flourished under her care and our kids just love her. Enjoy your summer and we'll see you back in the garden next fall!
