Now here’s Mr. Siegel:”Hi, Mr. Siegel here. I would like everyone first to know how important the process of composting is, for not only the sustainability of our own Jefferson garden, but the sustainability of our planet and all its beautiful creatures. For me personally, I can think of no better and simpler way to have a positive, hands-on impact on our environment than composting. With that in mind, if you were as upset as I was that Ms. Leonberger had to cancel Compost Club on Tuesday, then please join us today during Gardening Club. We will be preparing our compost for the coming winter months by adding processed greens and the happily donated coffee grounds from staff here at Jefferson. Again, if you’re interested in doing your part for our planet Earth through the beautiful process of controlled decay and rot that is Composting then please come to Gardening Club today after school for a special Compost Club meeting. I know I’ll be there! And so will my favorite friend, Ms. Leonberger.  Thank you.”

From Ms. Gomez:Please stop by to see the TJMS Orchestra at the Westover Farmers Market on Sunday, Oct. 30 from 9 – 12.
