Hi, Fitz garden club members! It was a beautiful day to be outside yesterday and it was especially beautiful in the garden. A big thanks to those who came out and worked. David and Jonathan earned an extra 50 cans each for coming out to help. Our next workdays will be April 5 and April 19, from noon to 4:00.

 

The finish line is fast approaching for the can contest. To make it easier for everyone, I have extended it to this Wednesday, April 1. That will be the last day we will count cans for this contest. If we get a lot of cans that day, we may not be able to announce the winners during the meeting. But we should be able to announce within the next couple of days and then we will make arrangements with the three winners for dinner!

 

As of today, Shelby is still in the lead with 1443 cans, but Martin has really picked up the pace with 1227 cans. David and Jonathan are still neck and neck with 764 and 761 cans. And Samantha is right around the corner with 405 cans. All together, you have collected over 5200 cans so far!

 

And don't forget we are going to have the plant identification contest on Wednesday. I have decided to increase the prize a bit. The student who correctly identifies all 25 plants first will get credit for an extra 400 cans, second will get 300 cans, and 3rd will get 200 cans.

Hope you've been studying your plants!

 

For the adult volunteers - the weather is supposed to be really nice on Wednesday, so I will be there at noon to get prepared and do more work in the garden.

 

See you on Wednesday! Ms. Rosenthal
