Gardening Season Has Begun!

On Wednesday, May 8th, Mr. Fowell and his Intro to Ag class invited the first graders and their teachers Ms. Gustafson and Mr. Watters to help plant the five varieties of seed potatoes that were generously donated to our school garden program by Driftless Organics!

It was a beautiful day and a lot of fun. The high schoolers put up stakes and lines and dug holes, and the first graders dropped in the potatoes and covered them up. Both groups will be back to check on the plants once they're up and to help take care of them throughout the summer.  We are looking forward to "homegrown" french fries, baked potatoes, and potato wedges when school resumes in September.
