We're all confused. ☺  You're right; we're currently flailing on a

tl;dr: We're workin' on it.

If not, you will probably want to get what she has as well as what I             have included in this email. When she took over as Garden Coordinator she was kind of took control of maintaining our records and had them set up in some sort of Google documents online. In the meanwhile, I have pulled together some things for you to add to what I saw missing from the Garden file             (which was still kind of tricky to figure out). I also have a TON of photos that I have shared with John Lenz. I see a lot of them on the website, but there are TONS more. They are nice to keep the website looking fresh and use for evaluation and maybe the yearbook.

She had been working with the PTA treasurer and would know the exact cost of expenses so far for the garden. I have not seen this since any spending started and no longer serve in the coordinator role. The budget provides guidance on how money is to be spent from the Rhame Family Foundation grant and is written to match the one in the grant as closely as we could get it - actual             versus approximate expenses if this makes sense.

It would be helpful to have electronic versions of this material (teaching materials and information about the American Heart Association Teaching Garden program). Debbi also has a few soil test kits from the county if the teachers want them.

I asked Jen Renaro and Kim Speece to let me know once it has arrived. It should include a check for $2,000.00 and instructions for evaluation and expectations. This money is to be spent on professional development for teachers participating on the garden committee (STEM / School Gardening). There are a number of great conferences every year that may interest them on the subject both at a local level and and across the U.S. If they choose one out of state, we will have to raise travel money since the grant will not pay for that. I think we could easily do that if this  is what they choose. Ideally, it would be nice to see a couple of teachers obtain their certification as a Master Gardener for School Gardens through Dekalb County or elsewhere. It is not expensive but they must apply well in advance and be accepted -

It is nothing you probably could not find online, but I obtained it from Ms. Martin and I am not sure who will have access to it in these files. If a lot of people will have access to it, you may want to make sure it is okay with Ms. Martin.
