This Fall Physics Academy teacher's Bob Holt and Steve Temple worked tirelessly with their students to create an irrigation system for the Organic Garden. The new system is part of a greater movement towards turning the garden into an outdoor Sustainable Living Lab and is funded through a grant from P.G.and E. The student are designing a computer program that will be able to sense when the soil moisture is low and automatically water each bed accordingly. They are also installing a water catchment system so that we can collect and use the rain water coming off of the roof of the science building. In addition to masterminding the system Mr. Holt's 5th period class also did the grunt worked required to install it. They supplied both the brains and brawn!!! What a crew! Thank you for your hard work!!!!!

This Fall, form
Thank you Skylar and Pat Collins and the other boy scouts and troupe dads for our new shed!
This Fall, former SRHS student Skylar Collins built a shed for the Organic Garden as his Eagle Scout project. With the help of his Dad and his entire troupe he designed and built a beautiful shed. Skylar got a grant from the SRHS alumni association for the material. We are so thankful to both the Boy Scouts and the alumni association for our new shed. Not only is it beautiful, but we do not know what we would do without it.
Thank You, Thank You , Thank You!!
