be planting and maintaining vegetable gardens on land donated for use by Kevin
and Melanie Lawrence. Within walking distance of the school, the garden space
offers a wonderful chance for the school to build on projects already in place
(Mrs. Taylor's raised beds and potatoes, Mr. Goodell's composting, Mrs. Ulrich's raised bed) as well as create new
opportunities for students to connect with the land, grow healthy food, and
learn by doing…which is how many of us learn best!
During the summer months, the children in the Tenney Library Summer Reading Program, Dig In to Reading, will maintain the gardens. Donations of gardening supplies as well as seeds and sets are needed. Please bring to the school if you have any extras around! Shovels Rakes Trowels Hoes Wooden stakes Hoses Kid-sized gloves Onion sets Seed potatoes Vegetable seeds: Pumpkins Squash Kale Lettuce Beans (pole or bush) 4 or 6 packs of started plants: Tomatoes Basil Thank you so much!

NO PRACTICE ON WED. 5/22 due to early releaseOur Mission Newbury Elementary School is a community of motivated learners dedicated to the development and success of the whole child by promoting a positive climate, staff collaboration, family support, and high standards. Our School Newbury Elementary School is located on the Newbury Village Common in the lovely Cohase region of Vermont along the Connecticut River. Our talented staff is dedicated to a humanistic approach to teaching and learning. We view ourselves as a community of learners and our teachers see themselves as active participants in the learning process. Students learn "how to learn" and are expected to be fully engaged in the process of inquiry and responsible class discussion. Our goal is to enable students to become more active and responsible for their own learning processes. Newbury students have many opportunities to learn from their local community as well. We have many local farms and organizations that invite our students to visit and explore the world outside of school. To prepare our students for the challenges of adolescence, social thinking and personal development is also part of our school's academic focus. |
