Watch this Space: Sq Ft Gardening With Mr. Spawn

Square Foot Garden by the Middle School

See that nifty grid, the smiling student, and the ever-moving Mr. Spawn? Thanks to Mr. Spawn, the students in his gardening club and the (mostly future) efforts of students in his classes, these will soon be "square foot gardens," in which all students in his class will plant and care for vegetables in their individual gridded square foot. We'll post again when the grids turn green!

Long Live Sustainability (Friendsbalt page is LIVE!)

Woohoo! Our webpage is live!


We're proud that sustainability now has a home on the "About" section of the Friendsbalt.org website. This means that current and prospective students, parents, and employees can search for and learn about what we're doing at Friends. (I know that personally it was one of the things I looked for when I was applying for a job).

Thanks again to everyone who was involved--Jane Huth Walsh, Stephanie McLoughlin, Heidi Blalock, Danielle Keeney, Scott Harrington, Katherine Jenkins, Joshua Ratner, and the Sustainability Council.

Our webpage and our blog are linked, with excerpts from all new posts to this blog automatically appearing on the webpage, so you can now stay up-to-date by checking either location. Go ahead and try it now, following this link to your webpage, and then the link back to the blog, and then back to the webpage....in an endlessly sustainable loop of sustainability. Actually, don't do that; instead you should email us and come help us think about what work to do next on the Green Schools MD application!
