We practiced how to use a needle and thread safely, in order to make Marigold garlands!

Our program is once a week on Wednesdays, aligned with the COTATI-ROHNERT PARK UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Instructional Calendar. Registration required by 5pm the day before. We highly recommend regular attendance to fully benefit from the program, but offer flexible session by session registration for family convenience. Email Ariana at [email protected] for details.

Happy Fall Y’all! 🍂
Autumn is officially here at Sandy Loam!
To celebrate the turning of the season, we’ve been spending time in the kitchen making food with our end of Summer harvest!

This mini Blue popcorn was planted earlier in the year and tended to by our summer camp participants, it was picked by our amazing BI volunteers, and cooked by our middle school enrichment participants. 🍂

Have you ever made popcorn from scratch? 🍿
