Dear Houlton Families,
Our Outdoor Learning is in full swing, thanks to our Master Gardener, Sandi Madsen and our student gardeners! Kindergarteners have planted pumpkins, First Graders have planted all kinds of vegetables and just today "thinned" the spinach plants. Second graders have planted watermelon and canteloupe and third graders have begun planting their pizza garden with garlic and onions (tomatoes and oregano to come!) Fourth graders have planted decorative corn (for our Houlton bazaar!) and Fifth graders are harvesting dried beans to serve during our school lunch!
EVERY child at Houlton has a special gift to share with others! Several of our students shared their gift with our learning community Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning during our annual Talent Show! Many thanks to Mrs. Zinck for coordinating this special event with our students.
If you missed the informative open house at Houlton on Monday evening regarding the St. Croix River Crossing Project, you'll want to check out the video links on our website. The plans for the bridge, roadways and trails are quite remarkable!
