Last time we wrote about the courtyard, Emily Cole was making measurements for blueprints. The garden area, greenhouse, fountain, walkway, benches, counters and study areas were just an aspiration. Since then Emily Cole has finished all the measurements and dimensions of the courtyard. She took the idea to the principals and they loved the idea. In the meeting they were surprised she was doing it all by herself, and were eager to start. Mr. Rissi wants to turn his window into a door, so he can walk directly out into the greenhouse. If they won't allow that, he says he will just put steps outside his window. Emily also had the idea to have a group of elementary schoolers come help relocate all the crickets and grasshoppers to the biology pond. The next step that needs to be taken is getting grants from Lowes, Home Depot, and Menards. Stay tuned for updates and progress pictures throughout the year.
