4/16 Greenhouse Greens Upper School’s Beyond Soup Club, led by Harrison Davis (’20), planted greens intended to be harvested for a shared meal at St. Joe’s.

We are asking our Harley community to create posters, pictures, and sidewalk chalk art to display in windows, sidewalks, and driveways to raise awareness for climate related issues.
