According to a news release, the W.I.N. enrichment group performed for parents, followed by a bucket drumming piece titled “Grow, Grow, Little Seed” and a brass-led parade through the school garden. Students sprouted kale seeds indoors, transplanted them outside, and later tasted kale chips they helped grow.

“Our students have become masters in seeds and making them grow,” said Lisa Wiggins, librarian and garden coordinator, in a news release. “We learn through reading and music. Music is magic.”
