First day back after the October holidays - Monday 28th October - we hosted the Ellon Resource Centre folks for soup, rolls and Rhubarb muffins :)
The soup was school-grown and cooked by pupils - Carrot and Coriander, and Pumpkin. The muffins also had our very own rhubarb in.
A huge thank you to (retired) Mrs Brown for coming in to do the catering. S3 pupils helped her whilst others were setting up bowls and plates in the poly-tunnel.
Thanks also to S5 pupils who helped carry equipment and tables out to set up ready for our guests.
Whilst everyone enjoyed the food, Miss Swallow did a little speech and then presented individuals with a certificate to thank them for all their hard work in the garden. The group help maintain the garden throughout the spring and summer so they have a huge impact! They were also awarded a Green Butterfly Badge each to wear with pride - these were given to us by the Aberdeenshire Environmental Forum to acknowledge the fantastic garden we now have at the Academy.
Thank you to everyone for coming - see you again in the Spring!
In a spot of other news - during the holiday, we took delivery of a Gazebo for the Memorial Garden area. Peter Haycock from Trimstyle Decor delivered it in person to us.
We hope the paths will be constructed during November and will then be able to build this structure so things should be looking a lot better by the Spring time when we can hopefully start landscaping and planting!
