Woodbine Pupils, Teachers Win Praise for Summer Gardening

 

By Harry B. Scheeler Jr.

WOODBINE — Mayor William Pikolycky congratulated the summer school students at Woodbine Elementary School and their teachers on Wednesday, Sept. 24.
The pupils and teachers recently received the Cape May County 4-H Partnership award for their work on the Woodbine Gardening Initiative. The project was both a tie-in with the Smithsonian traveling exhibit Key Ingredients: American by Food and an introduction to the Junior Master Gardening Program which the school has in place for the 2008-2009 schoolyear.
The county Health Department was a sponsor.
“I am pleased, given Woodbine’s long and rich agricultural history that our local school students are now becoming aware of where the food they eat comes from
and that they are participating in this very green, very “eat local” hands on gardening project,” added Pikolycky in a release.
