CES Projects

Discovery Play Garden continuing to grow!

We are continuing to develop our Discovery Play Garden in the old Butterfly Garden area.  This past Saturday, we had a team of approximately 25 people working in the garden as part of the local churches’ Great Day of Service.  We are very grateful to the individuals who took time out of their Saturday to work at our school.  They planted flowers, mounted bird houses, cut weeds, repaired bicycles, and created a wonderful labyrinth for our students.  Please come by and see this area if you have not already done so.

CES Garden Club collecting cans!!

We have formed a Garden Club with a group of first grade students who would like to purchase flowers for the Discovery Play Garden.  These students are currently collecting aluminum cans to recycle for flower money.  Please send us your cans!!!
