RBS Principal’s Notes
June 1, 2018
IN THE NEWS:
RBS Garden (A Message from Mrs. Parker)
Have you noticed the six raised garden beds growing behind our school? We’ve been busy building them and planting them in the fenced-in space out back during the past month. Hopefully, this summer we’ll have a variety of vegetables growing there. So far, we’ve planted organic vegetables such as beans, carrots, corn, cucumbers, lettuce, onions, peas, potatoes, spinach, squash, and swiss chard. As members of the Riddle Brook Community, we want you to know that you can come check out the garden and pick available veggies any time you are in the schoolyard this summer. Enjoy!
