Highlights of the Day
What a great day at the Grow Calgary urban farm! Thank you so much to our wonderful volunteers for their patience and helpfulness to make it a successful day. We spent our morning touring the various farm stations, including Calgary's first 'earth ship,' the water pump, greenhouses, compost mountains, and bee hives. After lunch, we got to put on our gloves and help harvest! We gleaned the farm for unpicked veggies to dry out as seeds, and got to dig up some pretty gorgeous potatoes and turnips. Paul, the Grow Calgary founder, said these grade ones were some of the best farmers he's ever met!
Please remember toonies for Terry this week! Also, tomorrow is both fun lunch and photo day!

Toonies for Terry Challenge
Starting Monday, we will be collecting Toonies for Terry (any donation will be accepted, spare change). IF by Thursday after school we have raised $500, STAFF WILL FLAUNT THEIR OWN CRAZY HAIR DO and will "Do the Do for Terry" as well! Bring in your toonies!
