SOMSD Launches Pilot Communications Initiative – Let’s Talk!
When Dr. John J. Ramos, Sr. first met the SOMSD community in April 2015, he promised that communications would be a major priority and that he would begin his tenure with a “Listening Tour.” Dr. Ramos wanted to hear what all stakeholders – students, parents, staff and other community members – have to say about our experiences with SOMSD schools, and our hopes and dreams for making them even better.

Garden Update
Garden Recess was kicked off on Thursday with a wonderful school farm to table feast! Students picked and washed apples from our many apple trees, pulled carrots from the ground, snipped collard greens and kale from the garden beds and took part in washing, chopping and cooking these fresh, delicious ingredients. With the student’s help and several enthusiastic parent volunteers, we made applesauce, and sautéed collard, kale garlic, yum! Children tasted the carrots and apples right from washing and then after they were cooked or placed in a blender and turned into applesauce. It was all a success…..there was no food left at the end of the day!
A team of kids and adults picked up the apples that have fallen to the ground. They will soon be apple rings, strung and hung to feed our bird population.
We had a Garden Volunteer and Organization Meeting on Thursday, September 17th. if you would like to hear more about that meeting and be a part of our Garden Team this year, click
