Items to update

We would appreciate egg

shells for an activity with the

children. (used, empty ones

please—we are going to crush

them so if you could save egg

shells from your baking and

cooking that would be much

appreciated.)

There is a container at the

sign in desk to collect them.

Thank you

We collect all our food scraps each day in a Bokashi

Bin. As the bins are filled the children bury the food

waste in the garden. Toby and Cruz help to dig a

trench and bury the decomposing waste.

Please name all clothing—we have a good
