Last Spring, the children of Wilkes Elementary on Bainbridge Island gathered together on Earth Day to plant sunflower seeds along a narrow strip of soil near the parking lot. All of the kids, from Kindergarteners through fourth graders, planted seeds, watered them in, and then wished them well.
It's a sweet tradition and gives the kids hands-on science and the school a beautiful parking lot.

| Gracie in front of Sunflower Row!! |
I shouldn't be surprised by how big the plants get, but every year I am just as amazed as the kids to see the towering row of sunflowers!
The row of giant, golden flowers looked particularly happy in the sunshine today. And I can't think of a better back to school welcome.
