Announcements
Land Acknowledgement - Vista Grande Charter School wishes to acknowledge that we are teaching and learning on the traditional homelands of the Taos Pueblo people. The Red Willow people are the original stewards of the land and it is through their stewardship that we live together in harmony in the Taos Valley.
Community Fresh Food Pick-Ups
Fruit and vegetables grown in the Vista Gardens will be given to VGHS families for free. If you are interested in picking up weekly boxes of fresh vegetables beginning mid-summer, let us know. This spring and summer a team of VGHS students will be offered paid internships to work on the farm for 15 hours each week at a pay rate of $12/hr. Positions are available beginning May 1st. Students can expect to: use a combination of hand tools and machines to make and maintain new beds, weed and harvest; participate in weekly market sales; participate in weekly harvest including washing, packaging and distribution, and more! There will be opportunities for students to make up biology and chemistry science credit as they learn about microbiology, plant science, soil chemistry and decomposition. Contact nora.wicks@vghs.org for more information.
