Quaker Ridge Elementary School will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at 10:45 AM to celebrate the relocation and expansion of its school garden into the school’s main courtyard.
The Quaker Ridge Garden has been reimagined as a vibrant outdoor classroom, giving students hands-on opportunities to explore science, sustainability, and the joy of growing food together. The project was made possible through the partnership of the Quaker Ridge PTA, families, staff, custodians, and student-gardeners.
“This garden belongs to our children and to this community,” said Principal Felix Gil. “It will continue to grow with curiosity, care, and joy.”
The ceremony will feature remarks from school leadership, PTA representatives, and students, followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony with teachers and student gardeners.
In case of rain, the event will be held indoors in the school auditorium, where guests will enjoy a slideshow of garden photos.
The Quaker Ridge Garden Ribbon Cutting is open to students, families, and community members.
