Green Apple Day of Service Coming Up April 23rd!

**UPDATE** - Rescheduled to Sunday April 30th due to weather!

Join the CHES Student Environmental Cabinet on Sunday, April 23rd from 9 AM - 12 PM for our fourth annual Green Apple Day of Service!  The students would like to spruce up the school grounds with bee and butterfly friendly flowers. 

We'll be working in the large and small courtyards, on the planters for the learning cottages around the outside of the grounds, and on the outdoor classroom in the front of the school.

Bring your gardening gloves and tools and come dig in the garden with us.  The event is rain or shine.  Parents are welcome! 

New Plants for Cottage Planters

Thank you to Brightview landscaping for updating the plants in our 8 barrel planters outside each of our 8 learning cottages (formerly known as trailers!).  Last fall the trailers were transformed into themed cottages and outfitted with decorative flags, mats, and barrel planters.  The planters have new Hibiscus shrubs (a.k.a. Rose of Sharon) donated by Watkins Nursery.  Their late summer blooms are being enjoyed by the students and teachers, and the bumblebees!

Our Beautiful Small Courtyard

Check out these photos from June of the small courtyard, lovingly maintained by parent and community volunteers.  Thank you especially to Home Depot on Hull Street for their donation of grass seed and mulch! 

There were tons of bees on these flowers!
