Blossoming in Partnership

Students from The Bishop’s School and St. John’s Head Start show off their harvest. August 2024.

ECS Head Start and The Bishop’s School continue to foster their relationship, especially through gardening. Tuesday morning, five students from The Bishop’s School joined The Rev. Roger Haenke from St. John's Episcopal Church in a few activities with St. John’s Head Start students.

The students bonded as they planted new vegetables and herbs and collected ripe veggies such as squash, cucumbers, and tomatoes, which they planted together in April.

Afterward, The Bishop's School students helped move backpacks stuffed with donated school supplies from the parish to the Head Start offices. These donations ensure that students have the supplies they need to have the best school year possible.

We appreciate The Bishop’s School students for their generosity and friendship toward ECS Head Start students.
