Next School Garden Meeting

Hello Team,
A couple weeks ago we cleaned up the beds with Nikki , Christy and Barb, the only thing left to do is to cut back the raspberries (which I can do when it is not too cold in the next few days). We planted some sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes) and daffodils in front of the school windows. The harvest fire was great!

We plan on meeting on January 12th at 2:45 in Christy's room on the first floor, this way children coming along can play and we can talk. After school care is also available if you call by 12;00.

We just got a seed donation from Abundance. Thank you Abundance Cooperative!

Thanks to all of us on the garden team, Sharon, Mary Jo and everyone else who helped make this season happen, and looking forward to starting the next one!
Have a nice holiday season,
ZSuzsa

Cobblestone's Harvest Fire

Harvest Fire

From Christy (first floor teacher): The weather was beautiful, our kettle of apple cider warmed over the fire and the children were dressed in capes, crowns, and gnome hats. We gave thanks to the community for the work put into the harvest, and honored the sun, rain, and wind for their contributions. Teachers and parents were dressed in their autumn finest, bedecked in leaf crowns, and we all shared a delicious meal of stone soup, cider bread, and warm cider. The lower middle grades prepared the soup, cider bread, and warm cider, I was served the stone, and we danced around the fire with folk dancer Carol Gayeski. The children participated in various activities: Chopping and sawing wood, getting their faces painted, spinning on a spinning wheel with third floor parent Lisa Gwinner, and they played with old fashioned hoola hoops and horse reins.

Many Fall Activities at Cobblestone School!

August Garden Updates

Look at our garden grow!

Our organic garden is growing by leaps and bounds. Thank you to our Cobblestone families and the Summer Camp for taking such special care of it this summer. Your care truly shows -- it is an amazing sight! Be sure to take a look at it the next time you are at the school.

Shinnecock Corn Dance

In the morning of May 13th, a Shinnecock (Native American Tribe
from Long Island) friend of Mr. Joe came to school to
teach us a traditional Shinnecock Corn Dance for our
Three Sister's Garden (corn, beans, and squash). She
also taught us a snake dance. Afterward, all of the
children helped with the garden. We dug soil, moved
mulch, planted broccoli plants and some flower seeds.
