It’s starting to feel like FALL! The cooler temperatures mean the kids are busy planting their fall crops. Broccoli, cabbage, beets and radishes, oh my! Stop by the garden and see what is popping up. 

Our next gardening day  is October 31st. Don’t forget to dress appropriately for garden days as we do get dirty.

We are currently looking for a new Garden Chairperson. If you have a green thumb and are interested in putting your talents to use by helping our kiddos learn all about the garden please reach out to copelandptovips@gmail.com.

Our Pre-K, Kinder, 1st and 5th grade Colts will all have their 1st SRC demos of the year in November!  With 2nd graders having their 1st demo in December!

3rd and 5th grade are looking forward to Nature Trails next week, and the Science Resource Center has some great training opportunities coming up!  for future demos as well!

Thank you so much to all the volunteers who take the time to get trained, present Demos and assist with SRC field trips!  Not only do our kids learn many things, they make great memories!

Here is a list of trainings upcoming in October/November.
