Our Plant Faire was held for Fremont Adult and Continuing Education (FACE) staff and friends the week before Spring Break. It was open to the general public from April 7th to April 17th. We still have tomatoes, flowers, and succulents available. All donations are for the Adults with Disabilities Program Fund in partnership with Fremont Education Foundation. All seedlings were started by our students, with help from Vince and our aides. Please visit us to look at our plants!
Recently, at the request of FACE principal, Steve Giudici, our campus cleanup crew replanted the flower pots outside the front office of the Adult School. Led by para-educator Lori Rauscher, AWD students selected succulents and some flowering plants to spruce up the entrance to the FACE campus. The finished product is beautiful and succulents don’t need too much water! Thanks to our crew for a great job!
Upcoming dates: The students still enjoy their weekly trips to the bowling alley. Some of them even practice at school! Newsletter Layout by Nick Leung
