Thanks to members like Christina Delfico who are able and willing to host these groups, RIGC received and facilitated visits from 5 Kindergarten classes in late April and 1 Pre-K class in late May.
Enjoy a glimpse of the Pre-K group called the Tiny Tigers with Ms. Kaplan. Their visit made possible with help from Kaz, Linda, Julia and others.
These field trips give experiences that enhance the P.S. 217 curriculum such as the pre-K "plant units" as well as providing a much needed breaks from the in-school routines. Due to Covid 19 restrictions, RIGC had not been able to host any field trips since May of 2019, but this year a long standing tradition returned!

Ms. Kaplan, who is retiring this year after many years at PS 217 on Roosevelt Island, sent the following thank you note to our community garden:

Good morning everyone!
Thank you to everyone who made our visit on Tuesday so special. Julia, I appreciate your input in creating a time and plan for our time there. As always, Anthony, it is wonderful seeing you again, and I am grateful that you were there for my final visit as a teacher with PS 217.
The children, Ms. Grandy, the adult chaperones , and I really enjoyed wandering the Gardens. The plants, pond, and guides made for a happy experience. A vase of pretty flowers made for the perfect goodbye.
Again, thank you so much. We all loved it!
Warmest wishes,
Nancy Kaplan
