Chief Mistawasis School hosted Janelle and I for a wonderful morning of gardening tips and a delicious lunch on May 14th, 2009.  The students prepared presentations about Flower Parts, Vegetables, Fruit, and read the story of Jack and the Bean Stalk aloud.

They were so proud of their garden and had great tomato plants and lettuce to show off.

On May 6th, 2009 Athabasca School hosted 4 other schools for a Celebration Event which included gardening and agriculture related sessions, lunch, and presentations with songs and skits.  They also hosted special guests from Heifer International as well as the Minister of Environment, Honourable Nancy Heppner, the Minister of Education, Honourable Ken Krawetz, and the Minister of Agriculture, Honourable Bob Bjornerud.  The students proudly showed off their Little Green Thumbs, and everyone had a fantastic time.

The teacher's hard work paid off when they were awarded Certificates for Excellence in Gardening! (L-R: Jean Wilson, Deana Kempel, Melissa McKechnie-Sullivan, Larry Bogdan and Adrianne Begg- Coordinator)
