The
day before school starts the 1st and 2nd grade
students come to school with their parents to
meet their teachers and learn where their rooms
are located. That
day volunteers go into
the gardens early in the morning to pick nearly
2,000 flowers. When the children arrive later in
the day we are waiting outside of the schools
with flowers in hand. Each child is given a
flower to give to his teacher. We pick extras
so we can share with siblings as well.
