Editor: On Oct. 9 the Grade 3 students of Southpointe Academy in Tsawwassen went on a field trip to the Ladner Community Garden. We visit the garden frequently to learn about plants and sustainability.

During this trip we made scarecrows to decorate the garden. Unfortunately, the very next day we heard that our scarecrows were stolen.

We were depressed, mad, ferocious, angry, upset, heartbroken, disappointed, devastated and outraged. We decided to write this letter so our community would know what happened. We wanted the word spread about this villainous act.

We worked really hard on these scarecrows and are very disappointed they were stolen from such a special place as the Ladner Community Garden.

The garden serves our community by providing space and food to the food banks.

By writing this letter, we hope our scarecrows may be found or that whoever took them will bring them back. We do not want to be sad anymore.
