Did you know Keene, NH has been officially certified by Bee City USA since 2021? This designation means our community is working to maintain healthy native pollinator habitats, free from pesticides 🐝

This year, as part of their agricultural studies, our 3rd grade class tended our elementary school garden 🌱

Our gardens are entirely pesticide-free, offering a safe haven for native pollinators and a healthy outdoor space for students to actively observe and care for the living world around them 💛

A huge THANK YOU to The Colonial Theatre for hosting our 9th and 10th graders on a behind-the-scenes tour of your venue! Discussions ranged from the history of the space & running a nonprofit organization to physics & architecture as we ventured backstage to check out the fly system, dressing rooms, and green room.

We 💛 our community!
