This spring, Mrs. Bye’s 3rd grade science classes will help plant vegetables; the 2nd grade science classes will create a beautiful flower garden. In addition, Mr. Murray’s 4th graders will buddy with Mr. Burns 3rd class to rediscover nature’s symbiosis by planting a traditional native American 3-sisters garden.
