It’s been a productive fall harvest. High School Science hosted 2nd and 4th-grade classes at the Dufur School garden. They picked, shucked, boiled, and ate corn, and with the husks, they made corn husk dolls as they learned the story behind them. 7th grade harvested the remaining corn to take home. What a full-on cornucopia!
These are Dish Gardens that Phyllis Olson helped the 7th grade greenhouse students put together, with succulents and painted rocks.
Please review the policies and protocol that Dufur School uses for students who refuse to wear masks properly during school hours.
A huge thank you to The Dufur Historical Society for the use of the large tent. Great space for classrooms, as well as lunch room! Working together to find solutions for Dufur Students!
