Today, Wednesday May 2, our Valley Home School will open its doors to our 2018 Garden Fair! All are welcome! Come and see the garden project our classrooms have put together! Teachers, students, and parents have been busy planning several projects for your viewing pleasure. Potato plants are growing really fast, and the carrots will be plentiful! Looks like it will be a very healthy harvest! The fundraising menu will be new potatoes, and roasted carrots from the garden! Also on the menu will be hot dogs, chili, water, and sodas. This is a great way to support our Valley Home School. A special thank you to all who have supported or donated to the beautiful green house and garden project. You are greatly appreciated!
