Fund raising doesn't always have to be a drag! There were a lot of activities for the children...
...face painting (always a hit)
...paint a flower pot
...paper butterflies
...and the whole reason for the "garden" theme! Each grade level planted plants and seeds in their planter boxes. They were asked about what plants need to survive and got to get their hands dirty. 
The food that is produced by the school will be donated to a local food bank. The school really hit the nail on the head with this project...not only are the children learning about taking care of something, but also how to give back to the community.
Chef Brian enjoyed grilling hot dogs and getting to know some of the other parents. 
A Nintendo Wii was raffled...what a great prize! 
...and of course, Mason had a blast!

he doesn't seem too enthused to get his face painted. What's up with that?
None of the children were smiling when they got their faces painted! The line was crazy long, though...so I know they were excited to get it done. One of life's ironies, perhaps?
