Our last meeting, held on Tuesday (Dec. 9, 2008), was a great success. I am very proud of our accomplishments, as you should be, too. We were very organized and got a lot done. Kudos to everyone who helped!!!
Tasks Accomplished (ohh what a hearty list...):
1. Unlocked the Greenhouse
2. Emptied the greenhouse (filled with a gigantic amount of materials) and swept the water out
3. Sorted and threw away broken/malfunctioning items and kept the rest
4. Neatly and pristinely stacked the remaining pots, bins, hoses, watering cans, gloves, planters, water dispensers, bird feed, minerals, soil, and other things
5. Checked the heater (it IS working, but I believe that the fan is broken)
6. Reviewed the "how to" of creating and writing blog entries
Wonderful, wonderful job, guys... :) Our green project for this coming week is to think of new projects for the future. If you have an idea for the wintertime that you'd like to see become accomplished, let us know. Feel free to comment on each others' blogs that have been created. You can definitely blog to mine and ask me questions, give me some ideas, or just talk to me.
Great great work last time, guys. :] I think our efforts made everyone feel a lot greener...

Hey Lindsey!
I had an idea...I'm not sure if the school already does this, but we could grow roses and maybe a few more flowers and sell them for Valentine's Day or something... just a thought... this may or may not require us to start planting the seeds after break..I'm not so sure...
Ok, sounds like a good idea! We'll talk it over during our next meeting! Thanks for your input, Jani!
