June 3 arrived with a blustery wind and partly sunny skies that were a welcome change from days of rain!  Community leaders, volunteers and GCCG leadership team members celebrated the official opening of the first garden site.  Joining in the celebration were 20-25 people from the community, ranging from age two to age 70+!  New volunteers were recruited, tiny sprouts were seen emerging from the soil and more excitement was created for the endless possibilities of community gardening!

Thanks to everyone who contributed time, effort and funding to make this program a reality!

 "MUGSHOTS!"

 Families and friends of Hillview art students enjoyed another amazing Art Show on May 3, 2012!  Student artwork was displayed, and those that attended the show can vouch for the creative and talented artists we have in our school district!  Student pottery creations featured mugs with various facial features/designs...all sprouting fresh green grass, lettuce or herbs! Art teacher Chris Bauer generously donated the proceeds from the sale of pottery mugs and planters.  If you weren't able to attend, we're posting a few photos for you to enjoy.  Special thanks to Mr. Bauer...pottery sale proceeds totaled more than $700!!
