Community Garden
Unified Science class (Mrs. Skipp’s 7th period science) will be going to the Community Garden on Thursdays from 1:00 until 2:00 until t gets too cold. Currently, we are watering a transplanted evergreen on the property. We will be weeding and working with compost as well. We will be learning more about healthy eating and growing organic foods.
Thursday August 29th – Community garden meeting, 6:00 pm at the garden. There will be food, drink and a presentation about the pavilion that is
being planned. Unfortunately, I will not be able to stay with the kids after school until 6:00 pm that evening, but I will be at the garden at 6:00 pm. If
you are able to bring your kids that would be great, if this is not possible, I certainly understand. All students are welcome to attend, parents are always welcome.

Brown Palace Historic Ghost Tour
A hotel that has hosted countless people since its 1892 opening is bound to have a few lingering guests who never really “checked out.” This popular tour highlights tales of unexplained phenomena and spirits who appear to have chosen to spend eternity with us.
We will be attending a private tour on Wednesday October 30th at 5:00 pm. My 1st period Communications class (English) will be reading the play “Frankenstein” throughout October. I thought it would be fun to go to the Brown Palace and hear some ghost stories right before Halloween. After the Brown Palace we will go to the Cheesecake factory for dinner. Coffee Cart will pay for the tour, but dinner will be the responsibility of each person going. Let me know if money is a problem.
