🌱 Planting the future at Community Roots! 🌱

Our students got their hands dirty in the garden this week! They learned how to make furrows, the shallow rows where seeds get planted, and then carefully planted ground cover seeds.

Along the way, they discovered why ground cover matters: it protects the soil, helps hold in moisture, keeps weeds down, and keeps our garden healthy through the seasons. 💚

We love seeing our students learning real world science skills. Stay tuned to watch our garden grow!

Every year, our 6th graders head to the Santiam River for Salmon Watch, an incredible hands-on learning day hosted by the Marion County Soil and Water Conservation District. Thank you, Marion County!

Our students spent the day:
💧 Conducting water quality testing on the Santiam River
🦐 Surveying macroinvertebrates
🐠 Participating in a salmon dissection
🥾 Taking a guided hike

The best part? The host biologists were so impressed by how much our students knew and how engaged they were throughout the day. That is what happens when hands on, real world learning is a part of our everyday education.

This is Montessori learning at its best: curiosity-driven, experiential, and connected to the real world. 💚

Community Roots School is hosting a unique event this Saturday in Downtown Silverton to highlight the importance of local watershed health and salmon habitat.

Silverton Salmon Fest is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 9 at Town Square Park and the community is invited to attend.

The family-friendly, free event will help teach attendees about salmon and their ecosystems, and will feature salmon tasting, arts and crafts and more.

Chris Schreiner, administrator for Community Roots, said the program grew out of a class project for 6th graders that encourages students to tackle a topic of interest. The project then grew with support from Marion County Soil and Water Conservation District, Pudding River Watershed, and tribal historian Brigette McConville of Warm Springs.

Schreiner said the event is an example of “how our school encourages a student-led learning and to engage with their community in creative, meaningful ways.”
