As the school year comes to a close...

The Media Mouse has seem many fun activities as the school year comes to a close. Track and Field Days are a big tradition at our school.

Finally, things are growing!

Spring is here! Our lovely early flowers are ready for you to enjoy.

Many families are joined by Bangu Under 14 soccer team

Bangu Under 14 girls soccer team joined families, students and teachers on April 21 for another successful day of work in the garden. We are most thankful for the time and effort on this project.

Progress in the courtyard garden

The first Saturday work day in the garden was a huge success!

Our Principal, Eric Paulson, was very busy with the sod kicker. Community members, staff and students all helped to line the paths with brick. Please join us for more garden work on Saturday April 21.

April in the garden

Richfield had an inch of snow this week but it is gone now. Tomorrow, April 14th, will be the first scheduled "work day" in the garden and we hope that the temperature will be in the 50's. On May 15th we will be sharing our garden through a video conference. We will learn about other school gardens in Kyle, Texas; Humble, Texas; Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.

The Media Mouse learns about the court yard garden

The Media Mouse (shown here as Poppy the deer mouse) is ready to go outdoors to the Courtyard Garden. Third grade classes have been making observations of the garden since last fall. As the seasons change, so does the activity in the garden.

Some podcasts are ready!

Students in Mrs. Munson's class and Ms. Tschumper's class have been very busy in the Computer Lab and Media Center writing and recording their podcasts. More will be added as they are finished.
