Braving the cold to repair a compost bin

"Today in ATF we fixed the compost bin that broke when we moved it to a new spot.  First, we had to see which pallet would fit the compost bin we had to fix."
--Cecil, Grade 6
 "We froze our toes off while we made a new compost bin.  We hammered in nails with orange holders to attach the mesh onto the bin.  We also had to lift up different wooden tops with wire mesh to find the right fit for the compost bin."
--Jamari, grade 6

 "We had to put nails into it.  We had to put the parts back together.  Then we finally put the entire thing back together.  I thought it was exciting building the compost bin because I haven't built anything in a while.  It was great.  My dad builds and destroys things in our building so I was used to it already."
--Casimir

 "Today we made a compost bin.  It was freezing cold and I got to use a hammer.  It was like when my mom and I build a bird house.  I feel great.  I wish we could do it again to I can learn to do it again."
--Javion, grade 5

"Last, we went inside with all the tools and warmed up.  I feel that what we did in ATF was very constructive."
--Cecil, grade 6
"We went through blood, cuts, and the cold but we got through the pain and got the job done! Go ATF!"
--Jamari, grade 6
Check out the finished bin.  Nice job ATF!
