Hi Chip,
My girls attend Mission Montessori Academy, a charter school that has a wonderful gardening program. The gardening teacher has requested that the PTA purchase rain water barrels for the program. As a fan of the PPG, I thought it might be even more exciting to have the kids be involved in building their own rain water barrel. There are about 130 students in the school and are divided into mixed age classes of 1st thru 3rd grand and 4th thru 6th grade. Would you do an instructional class at the school (in Scottsdale on 96th St north of Shea Blvd)? Or is this a project too complicated for the age ranges?
