Tiny gardeners, big harvests 🌱

Our edible garden is already producing fresh radishes, spinach, and arugula, all planted, cared for, and harvested by Russell children. Along the way, they’re learning patience, observation, responsibility, and the joy of growing something together.

Still growing: borage, peppers, kale, and peas 💚

As students prepare flower crowns, colorful capes, ribbons, and festive gathering spaces, they are participating in traditions that mark the changing season, strengthen connection, and make the arts a living part of everyday learning.

Moments like these help children experience school not just as a place to learn, but as a place to belong. 🌷
