Spring has begun and we are preparing this week to begin demolition for the courtyard area at our school that fourth grade will be planting along with the help of Mr. Willen's high school Ag classes at CCHS! Ms. Wanda Gilbert from the Conservation Office is also going to be providing some guest speakers for the project throughout the project. Ms. Sue Elise Flowers has also been helping with the project also by helping us write some grants!
We are working to create a courtyard area at our CCES where all students can have class or enjoy snack. The highschool class will be preparing the area over the next few days by removing unwanted weeds and we are going to be measuring the area as we begin our measurement unit in math next week. We will also be discussing proper planting, plant conservation, and plant life as we study about plants and animals in our current science unit. The landscaping class at the high school is going to design the garden and we are going to purchase as many plants as possible for our high school green house. We will also be purchasing some benches from Coach Price's woodworking class at CCHS. We would eventually like to add some art work and sculptures to the area as well. We are so excited to get this project started!
We would like to say a special thanks to our donars: Citizens Bank, Cumberland County Conservation District Office, the Clorox Company Foundation and FRYSC
