reflections from cove creek
At Cove Creek School we have a lot of teachers and parents who are passionate about gardening. Six teachers in particular have been recommended by their peers and now form the group of official "Garden Ambassadors" for the Cone Garden at CCS. The role of the Garden Ambassadors is to inspire others to get involved with gardening and sustainability efforts at the school and provide expertise and ideas. Garden Ambassadors are also members of the school's Nature Team.

(Post originally published in the EcoRaiders website.) It has been a busy last week of school at Cove Creek! There have been musicals, 8th grade promotions, class outings, field day events, end of year parties, parent meetings and retirement celebrations for our principal, Mr. Toby Cone. The school garden has also been seeing a lot of action with many classes getting out to their vegetable patch to water their plants, weed, or do some last minute planting of summer crops. Mrs. Pfister's class for example, harvested some kale which was ready, and Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Hall's third graders planted potatoes and tomatoes in their raised beds. We also had some help in the garden from Mr. Johnell Hunter, a Master Gardener from Winston Salem who was visiting with Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture. On Tuesday May 30th we dedicated the garden to Mr. Cone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and surprise unveiling of the amazing mosaic sign created by Angela McMann. It was quite a week indeed! |
