It's garden season! 🌱🌻

Hooper classes have been loving the spring weather with some time outside in the gardens. Kindergarteners got to do some weeding, planting, and tasting, while our 7th grade students were prepping for our new native plant garden courtesy of the Cheshire County Conservation District grant!

Lots of blooms coming our way!🌼
