SAINT ANN SCHOOL

What a better way to start Summer Break than with a lemonade stand? Saint Ann's student and her neighbors set up "Luna & Emma's Lummanade" stand to help neighbors stay cool during a hot day. Among the many customers, special guests Prospect High Fire Department members and officers from Ewing Police and K-9 Unit. Our 3rd grader and her friends decided to donate their profits to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Calling all kids, ages 9 and up! Mercer County 4-H has a new club focused on teaching children about sustainable living and practices. Topics of discussion will include gardening, composting, recycling, and more! The club meets on a monthly basis at a local farm; if you'd like to attend the next meeting, taking place this Sunday, June 9, please contact club leader Arie at alcmanchen@gmail.com. The club will also have an info table at the Mercer County 4-H Fair, happening August 3 and 4 at Howell Living History Farm (https://mercer.njaes.rutgers.edu/4h/fair/).

A little over one week has passed since Saint Ann School 7th graders turned upcycling cartons into planters and nature did its course! Check out the classroom version of it, which was just planted today. Kidney beans are fast growers!
