Thank you for helping our school grow! Your purchase and round-up donation goes directly to support the Friends School of Minnesota, a K–8 school in St. Paul providing progressive, Quaker-based education to over 150 students. Your support helps keep the school affordable for a wider range of families wanting to be part of our learning community. We have one of the lowest tuitions in the state, and we have increased our financial aid program by 34 percent this year (to one of the highest levels in the state). We believe that any student who wants and needs our unique approach to schooling deserves to be here, and your support helps us live up to that commitment. A Friends School of Minnesota kindergartnerusing Your support is also helping us grow, through the four “pillars” of our Strategic Plan: oil pastels in the art room. Equity: A consultant team is helping us rethink everything we do through an equity lens: curriculum, hiring, discipline, financial aid, admissions, culture... everything. Together, we are learning more about equity, diversity and inclusion, making our school community stronger for everyone. Learning Differences: Our new Learning Specialist will lead assessments, design learning plans, and support teachers to better understand and support the unique learning styles of our students. Quaker Identity: We are exploring how to more deeply live and teach our commitment to Quaker process and the values of peace, justice, simplicity, and integrity. Advancement: We are working to deepen our relationship with supporters like you through our quarterly Friends Circle publication, school visit days, social media, and (soon) a new website. This school makes a deep difference not only in the lives our students, but also in the world they go out into, and the support of a broad community makes this possible.

Some vegetables are better from seed We sell some vegetables as seeds rather than as plants. Here’s why: 1. Early May is just too early for some tender and fragile plants to be outside. 2. Plants like melons, cucumbers, and squash are actually vines, which get tangled together and are easily damaged before they can be sold. 3. It’s cheaper for you and just as reliable to plant these vegetables as seeds directly in the ground. The seeds come with instructions. It’s easy! 4. You’ll have access to more varieties, including plants like beans, peas, carrots, radishes, and beets that don’t transplant well. 5. You can share and swap extra seeds with your friends. 6. You might want to keep some seeds to plant a late summer crop (especially great for lettuce, carrots, radishes, beans, and peas). We do sell some cold-sensitive vegetable plants (marked with a † , especially tomatoes and peppers, since they need more of a headstart in our short growing )season. But keep them indoors or in a cold frame until night temperatures are above 55°. 12 Friends School Plant Sale • May 10–12, 2019 www.FriendsSchoolPlantSale.com
