Hello Friends, Hope you’re having a great summer and have been able to beat the heat! I’m writing to invite you to the Evansville Education Foundation’s Garden Fair this Sunday, July 14, from 1-4:30. Attached is a flyer with all the details. For those who love gardening – and those who love to just admire gardens – it should be a fun event. The proceeds from the Garden Fair will be used to fund materials, equipment, and resources requested by teachers to supplement their work in the classroom. Last year the money EEF earned helped to purchase books, math materials, lab equipment, computer programs, a new kiln, and more. I hope you’ll consider attending. Nancy Hurley 223 W.
