The garden at E. Rivers has had an amazing transformation thanks to two moms and one 5th grader who weeded around the raised beds, and our 5th graders have already planted carrots! We now desperately need Cypress mulch to keep the garden looking great for all our students. 
 
We’re excited to share a generous offer from Fix-It Ace Hardware at Peachtree Battle Shopping Center, located right across the street from the school. Parents and patrons (including PBA members) can purchase mulch with a Buy 2, Get 1 Free deal for the E. Rivers garden! Please use the code ERMULCH to receive this discount. Even better, Ace will set aside the mulch for us and hold it until our Garden Day, so you don't need to transport it yourself. We'd also love to have members of our surrounding community join in the fun on Saturday, September 6, from 8:30AM to 11:00AM, as we turn the garden into a true outdoor classroom! Green thumb or just want to lend a hand in the garden? Sign up here. 
 
While you're at it, bring your car down for a wash at the 5th Grade Car Wash the same day!
