It seems that my note of yesterday posts on my page, but not yours. (While my disrespect of the nuns only cost me a few sore knuckles a long time ago, my disrespect of the computer gods continues to cost me dearly.)
I’ve had some time this morning to poke around the site a bit and the educational garden discussion group seems to be a good place to start asking about high school curriculum.
Be well.
Kim
