PHOTO GALLERY : Temple Beth Sholom students learn to garden

Students at Temple Beth Sholom learn about gardening and horticulture Monday, March 11 at The Papa Ed and Mimi Organic Sustainability Kibbutz Garden. With the help of a grant from Ed and Betty Rosenthal and the Jewish Federation kindergarten teacher Shonna Brody started the garden in August 2011. 'This was just a plot and I had a vision to start a garden here,' Brady says. Kindergartners water the plants and learn about the life cycle of a seed and middle schoolers experiment with different fertilizers. During harvest time students cook the food they grew in a solar cooker and the school donates much of the crop to Every Day Blessings.

PHOTO GALLERY: s/ART/q Print Party

There were 12 prints to choose from at this year's two-day print party hosted by s/ART/q on Saturday, Oct. 22 at WSLR 96.5 LPFM. Typewriters, a cute dog, ribbons, produce, cool-looking fish - it's no wonder there were so many people getting hip images transferred to their long johns, jeans, aprons and plenty of t-shirts. Live music, food and crafts for children entertained the thousands of attendees while they waited for their screen-printed works of art. Each print was $5 and helped the group of local artists raise funds for SELECT Fair in December in Miami.
