Community Garden

Our last CSL project of the year is the big one. Among the many initiatives we've undertaken, we've done 2 community parties, cleaned up our campus, worked hard in classrooms with younger kids all over the school all year and been of assistance every time we were asked, often of our own volition. We have been recognized by our school division and community agencies and businesses. This one, however, is that for which Marshall School Grade 7 CSL class of 2010-2011 may be most fondly remembered. With the help of a number of parents and some teachers and their spouses, and a wonderful donation by Synergy Credit Union, we built the big flower boxes in that will become the brand new Marshall community garden. The town will deliver the soil and the peat moss tomorrow. The plants, through the generosity of Green Jay Nurseries will arrive shortly thereafter and we will plant them. It's a legacy project: succeeding classes will have the chance to add a feature or two of their own. The class ahead of us, Mrs. McKerchar's grade 8/9 kids,  is considering adding some shade trees already. Pretty cool.
