Jacobs School Blue Notes
Notes for the week of October 5, 2015
A Note from the Principal
Who says gardening is only for the
spring? Holly Hill Farm is presenting Water
Conservation and Spinach Planting Programs
to the 2nd grade for the next few weeks. Each
second grade class will work with Jon Berber,
Education Director at Holly Hill Farm, as he
teaches students about planting spinach in
the fall. Then, later in October, students will
plant garlic. This program, sponsored by
Aquarion Water Company & Holly Hill Farm,
will teach students skills to last a lifetime.

To Help With The Most Fun Fundraiser, Ever?
Barrett's Haunted Mansion in Abington has
given The Hull Boosters a great fundraising
opportunity! Boosters will be paid to round up
adult volunteers to staff the haunted house on
Thursday, October 22. You just have to show up
in dark clothing & Barrett’s will get you ready to
scare up some Halloween fun.
Email Jen Olivieri at [email protected] if you
can participate in this SUPER FUN event.
45 volunteers are needed, so grab a group and
make it a memory!
You’ll have a great night of fun and Boosters will
continue to fund great programs for Hull students!
