Students Participate in Gardening Project

Grade 9 student Derek Gilchrist unloads mulch for new plants

Students in grade 9 were given the chance to get their hands dirty as they learned how to garden with Mrs. A. Moody.

Each week, since the snow cleared out, they have been bringing new life to the shrubbery surrounding the school by hauling up roots, putting down new soil and even new plants.

Revitalizing the shrubbery was a perfect way for Mrs. Moody to teach her Visual Arts class that art can come in many forms.

Not only have these students learned a valuable new skill, they will be able to watch their project flourish for many years to come.
