by Louise Lynch-O'Brien 18 Dec '24

18 Dec '24

Good evening relatives! We’re excited about the upcoming field trip to Omaha on Friday, December 6th, where students will have the opportunity to meet Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass, and participate in a lunch discussion. I’ve attached the itinerary and permission slip to this email. To ensure everything goes smoothly, here are the instructions for excusing your student’s absence: 1. Contact Your Student’s School Building: Families must contact the school directly to excuse their student’s absence. * The absence will be coded as a PA (Parent Excused Absence). * If the school is not contacted to excuse the absence, it will be coded as TR (Truant), which also counts toward the 20-absence threshold. * Please be aware that PA absences count toward the 20-absence threshold. 2. LPS Indian Education Support: LPS Indian Education cannot inform the school of a student’s absence but can assist families with the process if needed. lps.org/indianed<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/lps.org/indianed__;!!PvXuogZ4sRB2p-tU!HMl…> Don’t forget your permission slip! 1. Completed Permission Slips: Completed permission slips must be submitted before a student can depart on Friday morning. A signed permission slip (digital or physical) must be returned to Molly Phemister before getting on the van. * Email: mphemister2(a)unl.edu<mailto:mphemister2@unl.edu> * Text: 402-417-6424 * In person before trip departure Kind regards, Louise Dr. Louise I.

TWO action items (plus saturday we start in the greenhouse)
by Molly Phemister 05 Dec '24

05 Dec '24

Good afternoon, Relatives! Two action items for you today, please: (1) those students who are going on the field trip, if you could give us a heads up, then we won't leave anybody behind accidentally on Friday morning AND we will be able to let our hosts know how many of us will be there for lunch. Reply to this email or reach out to me at 402-417-6424 (text or call, as you see fit). Many thank yous! ** I don't care if you haven't been to class in a while, I still want you to go on this adventure with us! Come. This is valuable. ** (2) Saturday's chapter from Braiding Sweetgrass is chapter 30, Shkitagen: People of the Seventh Fire (ps- she means YOU!) https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://youtu.be/1gKRa5H6JBk?si=7hu-B6K5hY_K0qQ… <- this is not her reading it, but if you have spotify, that's her reading it on there. Saturday we will start in the greenhouse and finish in the classroom. The greenhouse is NOT as heated as it was in the spring, you will want to wear layers (plus we'll walk over to Plant Sciences together and you'll want warmth for that.) A third action item: if you have not already marked December 18th on your calendar, please do. That's our graduation dinner, 6pm. I heard last year was pretty tasty! Plus it'll be a good chance to think through which of the other programs might be a good fit for your personal / life goals. Wopila for this year, it has been a gift to be with you and learn from you. See you Friday morning, 8:00 am (EIGHT AM), Plant Sciences Hall, Molly [https://ucomm.unl.edu/images/email-signature/Nebraska_N_RGB_small_on_white.…] Molly Phemister 3110 North 40th St Lincoln NE, 68506

Saturday starts in the greenhouse
by Molly Phemister 29 Nov '24

29 Nov '24

Hello Relatives! Greetings from the chilly, misty Wednesday morning. We will start in the greenhouse on Saturday and finish in the classroom. Please bring your journals! Remember those? We're starting our dive into entrepreneurship: setting prices, structuring a business, etc. You'll want to take notes. Depending on how the morning goes, we may be able to also touch back in with Braiding Sweetgrass, so please read or listen to Chapter 4, An Offering. This link goes to a youtube of somebody else reading of the chapter, but I understand that if you have Spotify, it's actually her reading it, so more cool. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_faDBEH6uIA__;!… Also, please check your calendars. How many of us are available for a morning field trip on FRIDAY December 5 to listen to Robin Wall Kimmerer in Omaha? This would be in lieu of your regular school day, so look at your syllabus- anybody have a test coming up or a presentation due that day? Teachers have a lot of ability to be flexible IF we don't spring things on them last minute. I look forward to seeing you Saturday. I really appreciated how many of you stayed til noon last week. That was valuable community time. Please aim for that again this week. Many thanks, Molly Ps- those with home gardens- there's another frost predicted about 10 days out. It's time to heal in anything in pots that hasn't already been dug into the ground or brought inside yet for the winter. Grab some of the neighbors leaf bags to use for mulch. This has been a warm autumn, but we expect a fairly normal (coooold) February.

Hello relatives, I hope this message finds each of you healthy, and well connected with your community. This Saturday, we will begin in the greenhouse. There are quite a lot of white sage plants to transplant, which is very exciting For reasons we will cover on Saturday. We will end the morning over at the classroom with a little bit of discussion about chapter 4 and lunch. We would go further with chapter 4 next week also. The greenhouse should be a fairly pleasant temperature, but probably not shorts and T-shirt weather. I still prefer close toed shoes in work settings. We build community breaking bread together at lunch, discussions that feel potentially right now are creating bonds, developing leadership skills, and sowing seeds that may not germinate for decades to come. Please do your best to stay till noon. Many thanks, Molly Ps- mark your calendars for our graduation dinner on December 18th!

CHILLY Saturday in the CHILLY garden- you can do this!
by Molly Phemister 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

It's November and while there are indeed still things growing and going in the garden, it's time to pull up the irrigation, take down and stow the trellises, flip and then fold those tarps, stack the bricks beside the shed, and sprinkle some woodchips and chicken poo over the whole site. It's NOT going to be warm that morning, though we'll all warm up as we work. Come in layers- maybe you want long johns or leggings under your jeans, maybe a tshirt under a flannel shirt under a sweatshirt under a vest? Decent socks go a long way, as does a little bandana around your neck. You get the idea. It'll feel like slightly too much when you leave the house, slightly too little around 9:30 or 9:45, and then by 11 you'll have taken off a few layers (so maybe bring a bag to stuff your stuff in?) It's a beautiful time of year- the trees are turning, the birds are gathering, the wind is singing a variety of tunes. The tired of a body that has worked hard in chilly air is a glorious thing, a very satisfying way to know you are alive and young and vital and vigorous. I look forward to working beside you Saturday at 9 in the garden. Molly Ps- closed toe shoes! Stay for lunch! Come even if you haven't been in a while!

Saturday begins in the classroom
by Molly Phemister 25 Oct '24

25 Oct '24

It'll be 40 degrees Saturday morning, let's start our morning together in the classroom. After a discussion there (including more from chapter 20), we'll head over to the garden to check in our potatoes and cabbages, and to do a little seed saving. It won't be hard work, but you'll still want closed toe shoes. Those of you who have not shown up yet this October, you're now at the line- if you have perfect attendance from here on, the stipend is yours. If you want to make up sessions, there's already 3 other students who want to do a make up, you could easily join us for those, and the stipend would be yours. We're having a lovely fall season, try to get outside today and enjoy it. Molly Get Outlook for iOS<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://aka.ms/o0ukef__;!!PvXuogZ4sRB2p-tU!BnM6… >

Saturday morning starts in the greenhouse: ALL STUDENTS WELCOME
by Molly Phemister 16 Oct '24

Hello my relatives! I hope you are all doing well after our brief prelude-to-winter. We took some hard frost in pockets around town. The garden is largely down to cabbage family members (but that kale is good for you, so keep swinging by and collecting some!) We'll finish seed collecting in the next few weeks and do a bit of clean up work, but not quite yet. Not this weekend. This weekend, we'll start in the greenhouse to finish planting the herbs and salad greens that we will take into the winter with us, and then head over to the classroom to work on Chapter 20: Sitting in a Circle. This is a long chapter, but it is such a fun one. Have you ever been camping? Remember how much packing you did to prepare for that trip? Picture going camping with your science class... And bringing almost nothing... What?! What did they do? How did they navigate that? You've got to read (or listen!) to believe it. Chapter 20 part 1: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://youtu.be/dz4nMoFkX0I?si=OkpSGmQURQECMt3… Chapter 20 part 2: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://youtu.be/oIyB73FXa84?si=XP7RmZNBOnnp2QU… Who am I hoping to see? ALL OF YOU! If you dropped your habit of joining us over the summer (powwow circuit, summer jobs, sports, or whatever the reason was), this is the autumn quarter now and you are 100% welcome to rejoin us (and to qualify for the fall stipend). Speaking of which, the glitch holding up the summer checks has been cleared, they WILL be out soon. Sorry about the delay and thank you for your patience, Molly Get Outlook for iOS<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://aka.ms/o0ukef__;!!PvXuogZ4sRB2p-tU!GVY8… >

Saturday starts and ends in the garden
by Molly Phemister 10 Oct '24

10 Oct '24

Hello Relatives! I hope the long autumn is drawing you out of doors? It's gorgeous out here, and I look forward to time outside with you this Saturday. The things we planted in the greenhouse are beginning to sprout! Yay! So exciting. We will plant more next weekend. This weekend, we will start in the garden with seed saving and checking on the potatoes (are they ready yet? How does one know?), and then move over to join Bob Henrickson of the Statewide Arboretum on a tour of our garden's neighbor, the nut orchard. We looked at that space briefly this spring, but now the nuts are coming in and Bob will help us learn even more. With luck, there'll be time between the tour and lunch to listen to a snippet from and start talking about Chapter 20, in which Robin takes students camping and brings no supplies. We'll talk more about that chapter next week too, when we do some weaving and learn to make rope. Lunch will be by the garden. While we won't be doing huge labor in the garden this weekend, I would like folks to still wear closed toe shoes. Long pants will be helpful- it's often chilly in the morning these days. Sunblock is still a great idea, and DO plan to stay for lunch. There's a lot to be gained from being part of this community building moment. Thank you! See you Saturday!
