Community Gardening Opportunity

waterthegardenSteller has a community gardening opportunity for you. Up to four Steller families are invited to plant and maintain a garden with plants of your choice for your use in the raised beds at Steller over the summer. Please let Jonas, Becky or Leigh Anne know if your family is interested. Families can take turns with watering responsibilities during the summer. There will also be a campground host at Steller with a gardening plot.

martianIn April students will be preparing the garden in an after-school club sponsored by Jonas, Leigh Anne and Becky on Wednesdays with Michelle from Yarducopia. During three days of our May Martian intensive Simone and Becky will have experts to guide us in gardening. Gardening will pay off in so many ways—outdoor activities, community involvement, and food or flowers.

We’re excited to work with you! Jonas, Becky, Leigh Anne, and Simone

HARVEY–a FREE play at Bartlett Theatre

HARVEY POSTER WITH PRICES  Bartlett Theatre Group is happy to present Mary Chase’s Pulitzer-Prize winning play Harvey. Perhaps you remember watching this hilarious Jimmy Stewart movie, in which he plays the part of Elwood Dowd, a good-natured, mild-mannered eccentric who is known in all of the taverns in his small town. Elwood is polite and cheerful and always friendly toward any strangers he might encounter, and he has just one problematic character trait: his best friend is an invisible six-foot-tall rabbit, Harvey. His sister and her daughter try to have Elwood committed to the local sanitarium, where the behavior of the prominent psychologist and his staff raise the age-old question of who is more dangerous to society: the easy-going dreamer with a vivid imagination or the people who want him to conform to the accepted version of reality. Screen Shot 2016-03-23 at 5.17.29 AM

The free showing of Harvey will be Friday, April 8th at 11:30 am. The play is 90 min. Students should eat lunch prior to arrival. There will be evening performances on April 7th-9th at 7:00 pm, which will be open to the entire community. Admission is $10 for adults and $8 for students.

Please respond to Janel Walton at walton_janel@asdk12.org if you wish to reserve seats.
