I-35 Acres Prairie is blooming with flowers and pollinators. Come and take a stroll. Open daily! Get your kids into nature without leaving town.
Input about communication being sought:
There have been several conversations at the national, state and local level about school and education over the past several months. Some of these are ideas, some concerns, some frustrations, and some inspirations. One thing I am continually thinking about is how we are communicating about some of these ideas as they pertain to Interstate 35 Community Schools. To get a better understanding of what will work in our community and provide timely, accurate information, we would like some feedback on possible additions to our current communication options. If you would take a minute to send some feedback, we can better share ideas and information from the school.

Thank you for watering the garden last week. Going forward Katie Klingensmith and Sue Meggers will handle the watering. Thanks again.
Tonight a little garden elf, Miss Klingensmith, and Mrs. Meggers mulched and added a row of beans. More zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers will go in tomorrow.
Come harvest times, we will post when veggies are ready.
Today, May 29th, some willing volunteers planted 12 cages of tomatoes, 6 zucchini, 5 peppers, 1 cucumber, and 6 watermelons. All are marked, along with a row of green beans. We need volunteers to water said plants the week of May 31st through June 7th. There are two watering can in the garden and a hose by the green house. Any questions, reach out to Sue Meggers.
