It's FREE, it's FUN, it's FOODIE FRIDAY!
Friday, February 3 from 3:15 - 4:00

Join us for Foodie Friday THIS Friday right after school. Award-winning chefs George and Katie Brown will be preparing broccoli from the Stonewall Garden. We invite you to hang out, enjoy the weather, watch a live cooking demonstration, and taste some of the best broccoli you'll ever have!  

See you at the back lawn of the school - follow your nose!

Change for the Garden

SG Donate   

HOME STRETCH! If you have sent change, THANKS!  If not, you have only FOUR days left!  Thursday is the final day to get your change in for the drawing on Friday. Please support our fabulous garden!  

 

Have your kids bugged you about change for the garden?  Good!  Last year, students gathered about $2,000 in coins, supporting the outdoor lab so many of them love and that is a crucial part of the science program at Stonewall.  We are collecting coins from classrooms through February 2 and encourage all students to bring what they can!  Parents, there is still time for your donation to support this model program! We need all Stonewall families to donate - $150 is the cost per student each year, and donations IN ANY AMOUNT are welcome!  Donate before the end of the month, and your name is entered in a prize drawing.  Thank you, Stonewall!
