Lower School Service Club: Worm Compost Bin Refresh - Friday, November 13 and Sack Lunches for Plymouth Housing - Friday, November 20

🪱 November Service Club: Refreshing the Bush Worm Bin!

Friday, November 13 | 3:15–4:35 p.m.
Grades K–5 | Middle & Upper School helpers welcome

As the seasons shift and the leaves begin to fall, our Lower School Service Club is turning its attention to the natural cycles that help keep our environment healthy! This November, students will take part in a hands-on project exploring composting, soil health, and the important role worms play in sustaining our ecosystem.
Our Bush worms have been hard at work all year turning food scraps into nutrient-rich compost! Now in our third year of caring for the Bush School worm bin, it's time to give our hardworking worms a little home makeover!

Join worm enthusiast and Athletic Director Jo Ito as we carefully empty the worm bin, separate the worms from their nutrient-rich castings, prepare new bedding, and get the bin ready for another year of composting. 
Students will learn how worms help reduce food waste, enrich our soil, and support a healthy ecosystem. Be prepared to get your hands dirty!

EVENT DETAILS
  • When: Friday, November 13, 3:15–4:35 p.m.
  • Who: Students in Grades K–5 (Middle and Upper School volunteers are welcome to join)
  • What: Worm bin refresh



🥪 November Service Club: Sack Lunches for Plymouth Housing

Friday, November 20 | 3:15–4:35 p.m. | Second Grade Classrooms
Grades K–5 | Middle & Upper School helpers welcome

Join the Lower School Service Club to prepare sack lunches for residents of Plymouth Housing, a Seattle nonprofit that provides permanent supportive housing for individuals who have experienced chronic homelessness. Since 1980, Plymouth has helped people rebuild their lives by providing stable housing and access to essential services, including healthcare, counseling, and community support.

Students will help make sandwiches and assemble sack lunches with snacks and treats for Plymouth residents. This hands-on service opportunity is a meaningful way for students to support communities and show that small acts of kindness can make a difference.

We are also looking for a few parent volunteers to help deliver the lunches to Plymouth Housing on Saturday, November 21. Delivery details will be shared with volunteers.

EVENT DETAILS
  • When: Friday, November 20, 3:15–4:45 p.m.
  • Who: Students in Grades K–5 (Middle and Upper School volunteers are welcome to join)
  • What: Sack lunches for Plymouth Housing
