Sign & new beds

After much planning for a long time, we finally got around to the two main projects that we had set goal to achieve in the beginning of this year: making a sign for the garden for people in the neighbourhood to be able to identify it, and building wooden beds for the extra piles of soil.
On Wednesday, May 11, the Garden Committee came to school (on a Professional Day) for about 5 hours and worked in the rain to get these projects done. Danielle Mayo, who has been taking the initiative for building the new beds, led the group in building the beds out of the wood that we got donated to us by Windsor Plywood and also Danielle herself. Danielle has been responsible for the planning and execution of this project and she truly deserves quite a lot of credit. The team that helped her in the building of the beds and installing them in the garden was: Jordan Chiu, Frederic Ho, Nick Sakich, Sheida Naderi-Azad, Camille Roberge, Jack Mills, Jack Hall, Isaac Beckie, Owen Iyer-Grant and Paige Muir.
At the same time, Emma Gosselin, Michelle Chan and I painted the sign for the garden.
