Hello Faith North Community,

The beautiful days of autumn have arrived in the desert and with them we are getting to enjoy our outdoor environment more. Ms. Tina has open the environment at North and Ms. Karla at FNM@Shaw. There is an amazing amount of industry going on from care of the environment, watering, washing bird baths, gatering eggs to the practical life applications of hammering nails, sifting flour, grinding the shells of eggs for our gardens, sweeping and mopping.

During the last parent work day we installed two new smaller beds at North and rehabbed two at Shaw. Winter/spring planting has begun. The gardens at Shaw are off to a great start. The bunnies got into the gardens at North and took care of all of our lettuce! The outdoor environment is very vital to our students, our pedagodgy and our spirits. It is funded fully from the generous tax credit donors. Please consider making a tax credit donation in any amount to help us support our gardens and animals.

Next weekend we will be having a chili cook off. Currently there are 15 chili chefs on board for the contest. Come on out to Monterey Park at 3rd Street and Oak next Saturday from 12 to 4, sample some great chili and enjoy our community.

All the best,
Susan Engdall
Principal
