Dear Floresville Primary School Community,
For the past six weeks, our class has been working on potting new plants in the containers located throughout our campus. Many thanks goes out to a number of people.
I would like to thank Pfeil’s Home and Garden Materials and Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Pfeil for donating the potting soil for our planters. We were able to replace the old soil in our planters with wonderful fresh soil.
A more eco-friendly system was put into place for our plants. It consisted of a layer of aluminum cans, a layer of newspaper, and then the potting soil allowing the container to be lighter. A big thank you goes to Mrs. Casey Pietka for this idea.
Special thanks goes to Mr. Johnny Hewell with the S. T. A. R. S. program. Not only did he donate the plants for our pots, he allowed my Lifeskills class, Mrs. Cisneros’ ABLE class, and Ms. Oakes’ 2nd grade class to take a tour of the greenhouses and gardens. Our students were able to plant beans and airplane plants, as well as, pick green beans and potatoes.
My class has truly enjoyed this service learning project. We hope everyone takes a moment to enjoy the new plants showing up around campus.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Pfeil’s Lifeskills Classroom
