Students went outside to see the progress of the apple tree that they planted in the spring from Union County. Students talked to Hunter, DLC comfort dog, about the apple tree and what type of apples will be growing on the tree.

Fall Harvest at JFS
The fall has brought a new beauty to our community garden at JFS! It has been wonderful to see all of the produce that we have been able the harvest recently and give back to the community through our food pantry. We have grown perfectly crisp apples, crunchy cucumbers and juicy tomatoes, just to name a few! Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who put so much time and dedication into our garden!

September Garden Updates
September has brought new energy to our garden as we welcome many new students to our school! We’ve loved seeing students and teachers visiting the garden for the first time, eager to explore and learn about the plants growing there. This month, teachers and students will take turns caring for the garden, sharing responsibilities to nurture and maintain our growing plants. The teamwork and enthusiasm have been wonderful to witness!
Our garden continues to flourish with more tomatoes and eggplants ripening on the vines. We’re excited to watch this season’s harvest grow and to involve our new students in the hands-on experience of gardening.

Our students are doing an amazing job maintaining the climate-resilient garden! They’ve been working hard, watering the plants and picking weeds to keep it thriving. The thyme smells incredible—it’s a little reminder of all their efforts.
Late Summer Surprises!
