Eighth Street Middle School

After long days of testing, ESMS Ag students were able to get outside and get their hands dirty in the garden. Students applied Black Gold compost to all of the raised beds and watered and weeded the garden in the afternoon after testing.

Our 7th graders also had a blast at Friday’s PBIS Celebration! 🎉 Huge thanks to KONA Ice for helping make the day extra sweet! 🌞🍧👏 Check out the slideshow at the link below: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NIPN7prYM4f9vPraPK-Bp2gkY38VZL28/view?usp=drive_link
