TNOT PAC organized a successful pancake breakfast get-together for TNOT families and friends. Approximately 200 guests were served breakfast in our new post and beam multi-purpose room. Our new healthy and environmentally friendly school building was toured by many extended family members. All proceeds from the event were dedicated our school garden project. Each year the school children tend to organic gardens at the school and the harvest produce is served to the children.
A 30' by 36' green house was recently constructed on the school campus and will soon be home to a large variety of organic garden plants started by seed by the elementary school children. Organic garden seedlings are currently lining the windowsills of the classrooms awaiting the completion of the greenhouse tables and raised beds. In addition, raised beds will be constructed outside each classroom for the children to tend throughout the season. Plants that have already germinated include several varieties of tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, broccoli, and kale. Squashes, pumpkins, beets, carrots, cucumbers, lettuces, corn, onions, potatoes, herbs, and flowers will be planted in the gardens when the danger of frost passes.
