➤ Garden Help: Adopt-a-Zone
Calling all those interested in helping with the garden. We have a new system. Check out the map with color coded zones. You can adopt a zone and help tend the garden whenever you have time. In the mornings, during the day, after school or on the weekends. Spend 15 min or 4 hours.
If you want to help please sign up for a zone. If all the zones are filled, double up, the more the merrier.

Before you start please meet with me so I can show you around the garden and your zone. I’ll be available Wednesday Jan 7th from 8:30-9 in the garden. Thursday Jan 8th from 8:30-9 and after school from 3:15-3:30. If these times don’t work let me know and we can figure a time out. FYI- the Willow House- Zone 6, needs a special touch—ladder work and careful pruning and tying to shape and maintain it.
Thank you, please reach out if you have any questions.

eScrip
Did you know you can help raise money for our school just by shopping? It’s super easy with the eScrip program — no selling, no extra cost, and no hassle!
Here’s how to get started:
1 Go to Any Olivers Markets or participating store (check www.escrip.com for stores)
2 Sign up for free and choose [Village Charter School] as the school.
3 They will give you a card with a barcode and two key chain barcodes to use each time you shop
4 Shop — eScrip automatically donates a percentage to our school!
***Save some time by swinging by the office for a form to fill out before you head to the store!***
Every little bit helps fund important programs, classroom supplies, and fun activities for our kids.
