Although the school already has a greenhouse, a well-established horticulture class and several raised flower beds, next year will see an expansion of school-wide gardening efforts. Thanks to Mrs. Debbie Norris' leadership and hard work over the years to raise money for the materials, the school will create a designated school garden with enough beds for teachers who is interested in adopting one for their class.
The newly established EcoRaiders Environmental Science Club at CCS will partner with Mrs. Norris and recruit the help of school families to build the flower beds as well as a compost station. Mrs. Norris' 6th grade class recently participated in ASU's "EcoSensors for Mountain Classrooms" program and used Vernier LabQuest 2 digital probe systems to test soil types at different sites around the school to verify the quality of the soil in the designated garden plot.
