Composting!

The folks from We Compost It came to our school yesterday to explain to the kids what happens with all the food that we have been composting after breakfast and lunch.  They brought a load of fresh, nutrient rich compost to fill our garden beds.  We formed "human chains" and poured bucket after bucket of compost into the beds to prepare them for winter.  Here are some photos of your children working hard:



Most of our school participated in the presentation:


Here we are  helping spread the compost:

Teamwork!
