We are all loaded up and setting out to the @IWKHealth hospital with a trailer full of toys. The 6th year of our toy drive was the most successful yet. Approximately $25,000 in toys and gift cards for the kids and families. Thanks to all who gave and supported us.
Teacher friends. Registration for the @NSSSTA October conference is nearing an end. Sessions are filling fast so please register before Friday October 13th if you wish to attend. We would love to have you.
The beginning of our 7th annual toy drive for the IWK Hospital in Halifax NS is near. We collect new toys and gift cards to help parents and their kids during their stay in hospital. If you want to donate, see the poster below. All donations go directly to the hospital.
Today is grow tower clean out at @ssrsbngrhs. The roots throughout the entire tower are insane. They go the full height of the tower to the water below. Next year, strawberries are on the grow list. Stay tuned for what else we try. @ByronButt@brilliant_labs @SSRCE_NS
Wishing my dad a happy #FathersDay in heaven. We lost him too soon to Farmer’s Lung. He was a hard working man who loved his family (especially his grandkids) and his farm. We miss him dearly.
The @ssrsbngrhs classroom grow tent is producing lots of tomatoes now. We also have our first miniature sunflower blooming on the window sill. @ByronButt@brilliant_labs
Tomorrow, brave men & women will battle fires in 30+ degree temperatures while wearing heavy gear, carrying even heavier equipment while risking their lives in an unwavering attempt to push back an unrelenting force but sure, tell us more about how the ban is so unfair.
Thank you to Wendy and Danielle for donating more fruit trees to our @ssrsbngrhs orchard. These Russet and Red Delicious were added to the Macintosh as well as pear, plum, and cherries we planted earlier. Our lilac, raspberry, and rhododendron are growing too. @SSRCE_NS
At @ssrsbngrhs, we have been experimenting with different growing methods such as hydroponics tower, light tents, traditional grow lights, and window light. Our tomatoes in the grow tent from @brilliant_labs and @ByronButt has even began producing fruit. So neat.
Last day with our @ssrsbngrhs ducklings. They are off to their new farm. It was a great learning experience for all again this year. We will do it again next school year. See you later Moby Duck, James Pond, Duck Norris, Quack Sparrow, and Cheese and Quackers. #handsonlearning
