Dear Torrey Pines families:
Over the past two years our school garden has
flourished. The garden is now certified in the San Diego
Unified Garden to Caf� program. Produce from the organic
garden is harvested on a regular basis and is a regular
part of the lunch salad bar. This year The Garden Club
was formed to help with planning, planting and
harvesting at the request of 4th and 5th
grade students. The Garden Club meets twice a week
during the morning recess. Over the school year all TPES
students have the opportunity to participate in garden
planting and harvesting and tasting activities. Also,
all students who eat in the caf� have the opportunity to
eat fresh produce grown by students right on campus.
Also, new this year is our garden weather station that
uploads weather data to
wunderground.com.
To help fund the Garden program and other activities at
Torrey Pines Elementary School,
we
are thrilled to announce the sale of engraved bricks to
commemorate the students and families of Torrey Pines.
The bricks will be set into the ground along the
existing sidewalk in the garden for all to see. This is
a great way for students to be remembered long after
they’ve graduated. For those just starting at Torrey
Pines, think of the many years to come that you can
spend looking at your engraved brick.
Here are the brick options available for
purchase:
4 x 8 inch bricks -
$100.00. Each brick can include up to three lines of
text, 18 characters per line
8 x 8 inch bricks -
$225.00. Each brick can include up to six lines of text,
18 characters per line
12 X 12 inch bricks - $300.00. Each brick can
include up to ten lines of text, 23 characters per line
*Some examples of brick inscriptions are: a
child's name and the year, a family's last name, an
inspirational message for the children related to the
garden, the names of siblings and the year.
