MVHS Goes to Mexico in 2012! By Lori Maroe The newly-formed Spanish Club has planned a trip to Mexico. We are looking forward to experiencing in a very concrete way the language, history and culture we have been studying. This is a once-in-a-lifetime trip for most of our students who will be exposed to a larger view of our world than they have ever experienced. Please support our students if you are able. If you have any odd jobs that our students can do, or just have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me through the school at 347-2411. Thank you!

Booster Club Information   Meadows Valley School Receives a School Garden Grant Thanks to the grant-writing work of Nancy Smith, the school has received a $2000 grant to start a school garden. The shop program will build the raised beds, elementary students will plant seeds and horticulture students will help them plant the seeds. The food raised will be used in the school lunch program. Thanks for all your hard work, Nancy! Meadows Valley School and Community Garden By Nancy Smith Meadows Valley School was one of fourteen Idaho schools to receive a $2000 School Garden Grant from the USDA. The goal of the grant is to enhance nutrition education, classroom curriculum and increase the understanding and awareness of foods and agriculture. For this reason, we’ve chosen Gardening & Nutrition to be the theme of the MV School Carnival on April 6th, Celebrate Education Night. On Earth Day, April 22, students will plant vegetable seeds in pots to later be transplanted to the garden. Mr. Johnson’s Shop classes will build our raised beds for the vegetables and a couple of vertical potato boxes. Later this spring we’ll plant two apple trees to start our own little orchard and we’ll need to rotor-till a spot for the MVSC Berry Patch. We are looking for raspberry starts and straw-berry plants if anyone has extras this spring’ The spot we’ve chosen for the garden is in front of the school, along the side of the fence, north of the Community House. We encourage community members as well as kids and their families to join us gardening. If you’ve never grown your own vegetables, come learn how it’s done. If you’re an experienced gardener, come teach someone your tricks. The grant doesn’t allow money for certain items so we are looking for donations. So far, we’ve received donations of some seeds, pots, flats, a shovel, and of some lumber left over from the new Forest Service Bunkhouse construction job. We are looking for any extra gardening tools, hoses, drip irrigation, metal fence panels for hoops, rolls of plastic for hoop covers, metal fence posts, and left-over lumber people may have. We also need topsoil for the raised beds and someone to haul it when we find it, and potting soil to grow our seedlings. We will also need to use a rotor-tiller to prepare the berry patch. There are so many learning experiences to be found in gardening. We are really excited to have this opportunity to learn how to grow fresh nutritious food and to be able to eat the fresh local food we grew ourselves. Come join us this summer in the MV School & Community Garden!
