Ready to get dirty!
On the recent Professional Development Day, FMSL staff participated in a service project during the break between the training sessions.
Kenzee and Christina worked outside the 1700 South entrance.
Staff members were broken up into six garden crews and assigned to specific areas of the campus to work in.
Infant, toddler, early childhood and admin staff collaborated on the pots.
Each group was given tools and spring blooming bulbs, corms or rhizomes to plant.
The task involved watering and clean up!
The crews were deliberately orchestrated to include staff from different departments and with mixed experience in gardening.
Robyn helped provide great gardening tips to her crew.
Problem solving, teambuilding, and a little sweat enducing hard work were the name of the game.
They seem pretty pleased with themselves!
And best of all, delayed gratification!
Jordan gets to work.
We look forward to seeing the results of their efforts in spring of 2022.
Keep your eyes peeled for the first flowers!
