Cafe Lago: Building A School Garden Shed, One Pizza At A Time

January 7, 2015 by LeAna Alvarado-Smith 8 Comments

Montlake Elementary School

After hearing the Montlake Elementary School Garden Program was in need of a new garden shed, Carla Leonardi, owner of Cafe Lago, had this to share, “Because we are trying to reach the community more and more each year, we feel that the school garden is a perfect place to start. We are going to be working with the students at the restaurant and the garden. So naturally, their need for a tool shed is something we love to help make happen. Also, a benefit at the restaurant will help the community come together for a common good. We love sheds!”

Proposed Shed Design

Proposed Shed Design

Montlake Elementary School has created a thriving greenhouse and garden program.  Now in its 14th year, all students, “Urban Famers,” at Montlake participate weekly and focus on cooking, nutrition and the arts. But this success comes with challenges, Cheri Bloom, garden program coordinator shared “as the program has become more established, we have outgrown our greenhouse space.” The addition of a storage unit would enable the school to create more space for students in the greenhouse, especially for classroom time and also for projects when weather does not permit us to be outdoors.

With the assistance of Cheri Bloom, Montlake Elementary PTA and Montlake Community Club members, Carla has organized a benefit Pizza Party.  Café Lago is donating all food, beverages and labor for the delicious and family friendly event which provides for 100% of ticket sales going to the garden program shed fund.  Neighbors and Community members are invited to join this wonderful event. To provide a comfortable experience for those attending, two seating times are available – 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm or 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm. Tickets are available online by clicking HERE.

    Hi Leana,

    I did purchased 2 adult and 2 children tickets online (Name is Karsten Vennemann) for the pizza fundraiser. It seemed the purchase went through but I did not receive a receipt so I am not 100% everything worked out . Could you let me know ?
    I also emailed to leana@montlake.net but the mail bounced back to me
    Cheers

      Karsten,

      Thank you so much for the note. Just updated my email in the comments LeAna. So far, Everyone who has purchased tickets has seats confirmed and their name is listed on the roster provided to Cafe Lago. However, there have been issues with the email confirmations. I will request a duplicate receipt be sent. Thank you for your support.

    I purchased 2 adult tickets for this fantastic fundraiser. I did not receive a confirmation with tickets on my email either. I just want to be sure our reservation was received for the Group 1 seating.

    Thank-you!
