First Grade had a wonderful time at the Agape Environmental Education Center today! We were on the lookout for habitats in the woods and looked for pond life up close. Thank you to the NC Outdoor Heritage Foundation Grant that made this trip possible. 🌻@FWESIBPYP#gooutsidenc
We celebrated Mr. Beamish today for being an amazing Assistant Principal! He encourages us to make our school a better place and our first graders wanted him to know that HE is someone who does a great job of taking action each day here at Farmington Woods. 🍎@FWESIBPYP
Our school garden is a learning community! Thank you to Terry McCloud from Kingswood Elementary for joining us on our MLK Day of Action and teaching us about Winter Sowing. @FWESIBPYP@fwespta#nativepollinators
Thanks to the FWES parents and students who came to help on Saturday rain and all. Mulch was moved and garden beds were tidied up and repaired. @FWESIBPYP@fwespta
Come this Thursday to our FWES Family Partnership Night and peek on the new growth in the garden! Thursday 10/20 6-8pm. There will be fun opportunities all around the school to get involved in.
Kinders and 3rd graders worked together on Friday to harvest pole beans and tomatoes. Beets, carrots, and radishes got planted as well. Thankful to a few classes that came out last week and earlier this week to prep the garden beds for us! @FWESIBPYP @fwespta
It was so much fun getting students into the garden to help with the harvest today. Parents, if you are a garden enthusiast, we could use your help with some of the different parts needed to run a school garden. Our students are ready to take action. 🌻 @FWESIBPYP@fwespta
Mmm…mmm! I have a feeling this harvest is going to bring a smile to someone at dinner tonight. At FWES we are working to take action as a school community to learn how things grow while also doing our part to help fight food insecurity. #fwesdestinationlearning@FWESIBPYP
