day. The Outdoor Lab is a facility located around the perimeter of the Future Farmers of America field to the north of the elementary school. The Outdoor Lab is to encourage hands on learning throughout the students' years at North Liberty Elemetnary School. By “doing” the students learn to appreciate the outdoors and become intrinsically motivated which will naturally lead to more learning and a deeper understanding of concepts in all areas. On Saturday, over 50 volunteers planted perienniels, blazed a trail through the woods near the creek, built a second set of benches, and planted over 50 large trees along the walking path! The Outdoor Lab now has two separate "classroom" areas, bird houses, a butterfly garden, a trees of Indiana area, a walking trail, and a gorgeous new trail that veers off the walking path into the woods near the creek. In the works are demonstration plots that will allow students to study soil erosion, weather, tree growth, etc. The development vision extends for years in the future. However, last Saturday’s event made quite a dent! The beauty of the Lab is such that ft practically begs to be used and appreciated by as many people as possible. The North Liberty Community has dedicated many work hours along with the students and staff. The walking trail loaded with flowering trees and shade trees is already an aesthetic treat! All walkers and bicycle riders are welcome! Be sure to visit the Lab soon! Since the Lab is funded entirely by donations and fund raising, your contributions, plant divisions, and trees would be very appreciated.

BETTER HOMES EXTENSION CLUB MEETS The Better Homes Extension Club met in the home of Gerri Ruby on October 24. It was backwards night. From the outfits we wore to how we did our meeting was all backwards. Delicious refreshments were first served by the hostess and assisting hostess Marty Malstaff. Games were played with all winning prizes in the Trick or Treat bingo and Mary Hahn won the contest of knowing the most cleaning soaps. Our club prayer was given to begin our business meeting. Evelyn Eddinger, song leader, led us in "Happy Halloween To You”. Then we sang the Happy Birthday song to Marty and Mary. Our president, Gerri Ruby, announced the chili supper which will be held at the Esther Singer Building November Ist at 6:30 p.m. The cost is 50 cents and all Extension members are welcome and bring a guest who would like to join. Mary Hahn, Citizenship, reported on how the soaps on TV may have to clean up their performances about sex. We should start seeing a change. Our next meeting will be November 28th at Nancy Stickley’s home. Bring your hot glue gun and $3.00 for cost of materials for craft night. We thank all for buying our cookies at the Pumpkin Festival. Money will be given to our local Pantry, 4-H and mental health. The secretary’s report was given. Roll call was answered with Halloween experiences which brought back many memories and laughs. A prize went to Vi Masterman for her bright orange outfit as a pumpkin lady. The Club creed was said together and then to end our fun evening of being backwards, we said the pledge to our flag.
