Gardening and Botany

It is the final term of the school year and we are amazed how resilient our trees and plants have been . We are enjoying our Botany lessons and our gardening . The students have done a wonderful job taking care of their herbs and plants . We are very excited to observe how quickly our lettuce, carrots, beans and squash are growing . 

Wow !  Everything is growing so fast .

On Friday our Casa teacher , Ms. Roxanne led us in a very important Peace Assembly.  The faculty and students could all relate to the topic of life after Hurricane Irma .
