Are you dreaming of a spring garden? Vernon School has been dreaming about a learning garden for our students and community for a long time. Hands On of Greater Portland has selected Vernon School for an exciting Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 21, 2007. We hope you can join in the fun. Hands On will join Vernon staff, students and parents and many community volunteers to help our school develop two school learning gardens as well as a number of big “makeover” projects. The project will include the painting of the interior of the school, improvements to our playground, soccer field and cleanup work around the landscaping at Vernon. We hope you can join us for this exciting day!
