CREATING A POND
IN
THE DYLAN CRANE MEMORIAL GARDEN 2008
Saturday April 12 – Diggers at work
creating the pond
By Linda
Griffin, Proud Perkins Parent
Last year as some of you may
know, I applied for and received a fellowship from Earthwatch Institutive and
the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. I was also given a generous grant to bring my
experience home to help our children to learn more about science. A pond seemed
to be a way to cumulate some of the things I learned and create an environment
where interrelationships between insects and plants can be observed daily by our
students here at school. I spoke at length with Mr. Lister and to others who had
successfully made a pond. We looked around the campus for the best place and
eventually found ourselves in Dylan’s Garden. We spoke with Carole Crane and she
was very excited about the idea of a pond in Dylan’s Garden. May it always be a
source of inspiration.
Carole and I are excited about
the upcoming venture. We would like to create this pond with your help and would
like to dedicate the pond at this year's Spring Festival. We are planning a get
together with all interested in volunteering on a Saturday. If you are willing and available
to help make this project come to life please email me. If you know a landscaper
or gardener who may be willing to donate their time that would be great as well!
Thank You.
