...was kind of sad =\ My project has pretty much come to a close and I realized that there are a lot of people here who I'm probably never going to see again. The head custodian (who I've talked to a lot) is really nice and I've developed a sort friendship with him (today the two of us hauled garbage bins full of vile rotting food up to the composting units in the garden). His memorable stories about fishing in Alaska and the funny quotes ('It can always get worse, trust me.") will be sorely missed.

So yesterday I had to stand at the front of a classroom in front of all the teachers here at BSE and the principal (my boss) and tell them all about the project I'm working on. Thankfully it was a pretty laid back meeting and the faculty were very receptive to the ideas I was pitching about using the garden in their curriculum next year. I also found an AMAZINGLY helpful book titled "The Growing Classroom" which is chock full of class plans designed to use a garden to teach 2nd-6th graders in a number of subjects ranging from science to nutrition and sustainable living.
