Bellevue Elementary Shares Community Garden

Even though we have not been at school, the garden at the front of the school is in full bloom. Thanks for our garden mentor, Redding Jackson, Mrs. Bernauer and Mrs. Gusew, seeds were planted on a chilly day in early April. While it seemed like nothing was growing, they all were just waiting below the surface for the warmer days. And now, WOW, it is in full swing. Spinach and lettuce are ready to pick. Beets, carrots and radishes are beginning to grow under the surface but won’t be ready to pick until school starts again in the fall. There are also a variety of herbs that you can pinch off. We are also grateful to a few parent volunteers who have offered to help water and weed the garden over the summer.

Northgate teachers serve as presenters as part of the AIU’s professional development series

Students noisily filing into school buildings, locker doors slamming, bells ringing; the sounds of a typical school day have gone silent across our nation. While school buildings may be closed, the business of learning has continued for teachers and students in a new format. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has shut down our schools, teachers have had to adapt quickly to the world of online instruction. For many, this is the first experience with online teaching and learning.

What looked like an impossible challenge just weeks ago has become a success story at the Northgate School District.
