Yesterday our school was closed for staff development. We took our staff off-site, first to Whole Foods at Sixth/Lamar to stock a "wellness cabinet" at school with healthy, energy-giving snacks for staff when we need them. We'll be adding vitamins and some supplements to the cabinet soon.
Next in our day was Eastside Cafe (http://www.eastsidecafeaustin.com/), just off I35 and Manor Road downtown. We all got some great ideas for our gardens back at school, and enjoyed a delicious lunch while we conducted our training session. The food was delicious, and the time together analyzing ourselves and our work with children was important.
Treat yourself to a walk through the gardens at Eastside, as well as their garden shop "Pitchforks and Tablespoons" and the cafe. You won't be sorry!
