A lil’ peace of PRI:

The Pine River students have also been doing their “peace” in an effort to
fundraise at the up-coming Trail Run Relay happening this Sunday. Students
have been busy this past week, learning how to tie-dye and will be selling
their unique and vibrant creations at the Trail Run Relay this Sunday with
all proceeds be donated back to Pine River. If you’d like to ‘own a lil’
peace of PRI’ you can purchase a one of a kind tie-dyed shirt for $20
(remember to bring cash!)

Check out the groovy-ness!

At Pine River Institute we are working to create our own local food system. We have a garden just outside the school that produces vegetables for the kitchen. Students can enroll in an experiential high school course called “Forests and Farms” that focuses on sustainable food production.

The garden season is well under way here. The garden has been tilled and students planted pea, carrot, radish, beet, and kale seeds. Also, many of our perennial plants have sprung up, including rhubarb pictured here.
