West Side Garden - Needs your help!

Dear West Side Families and Staff,

Thank you for your outpouring of concern and your willingness to help during the transition of our beloved school garden. We are working hard to preserve as many plants as possible ahead of the upcoming construction. Your support will make all the difference.

Our first goal is to carefully remove and save trees and plants for future replanting. A dedicated garden steering committee has formed, and is actively working with Stefanie to develop a plan for teardown and rebuilding.

We’re kicking things off this weekend with our first Volunteer Workdays Days:

πŸ—“οΈ Saturday, August 2nd & Sunday, August 3rd
⏰ 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM
πŸ“ West Side School Garden Area
🚫 Adults only (no children allowed on campus at this time due to liability restrictions and construction)

What to Bring (if you have them):

  • Gloves

  • Shovel

  • Large pots for transplanting

  • Water bottle

  • Snacks to share

  • Positive energy and willingness to dig in!

If you don’t have supplies β€” no problem. Just bring yourself. Every set of hands helps.

Thank you for showing up for this community and helping us protect a space that’s so special to our kids.

With profound gratitude,

Allison, Stefanie and Rima
