Garden Club hard at work

The recent rain has lead to part of the field by Room 23 turning into a muddy pathway. The Garden Club is digging out a path which we will edge with wood and fill with bark. It was great to see such enthusiasm for hard work. Well done.

In the years ahead, digital fluency will become a prerequisite for obtaining jobs, participating meaningfully in society, and learning throughout a lifetime. (Resnick, 2002, p. 33) [via White, 2013
