At our family day in early March, we were able to advertise for our Seed Saving Seedling Sale coming up in June!
Please stop buy to see all the hard work that our students have been doing seed keeping and growing plants!
This is a free event and all seeds and seedlings are free to families, if you chose to donate we greatly appreciate it, however we feel the most important thing is to get people outside gardening.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

What is the Golden Seed Award?
The Golden Seed award is an award that was started at the Etna-Dixmont School.
It is an award that is given by specials teachers. We wanted to bring this idea to every school to reward good behavior and teamwork throughout the district.
We are using this as a monthly award at each school. It is an opportunity for students to work together to receive an award for their classroom.
