The 77K community came together for a viewing and celebration of Josiah’s award winning film, “Tomorrow Starts Now.” There were speeches from Principal Russell, our Superintendendent, Dr. Keisha McCoy, Ms. Katherine and Mr. Tyler, Josiah’s mom, and many invited guests! Check out this week’s episode of the Roaring Rundown to see students’ interviews with representatives from the Mayor’s Office, Brooklyn and Bronx Borough Presidents Office, Green Bronx Machine, and many others that came to celebrate. Best of all, everyone that came got to taste a home grown salad with Josiah’s famous basil dressing!

Remember Ms. B’s Garden of Tower Gardens from our earlier post? Voilá!

Check out this video they made about the event.

Teachers from this year’s Garden Partnership Program kicked off the year with professional learning sessions at their respective gardens. Check out some photos of learning in action at NYBG (below) and BBG (in the post above) all about this year’s theme, Plants We Eat.
