The Campbellton Junior A Tigers found time
in their busy pre-season schedule to welcome back students at Tide Head School.
The partnership created last year by Community School Coordinator Aysleigh
Lefurgey and Head Coach Troy Ryan continued as players dedicated an afternoon
to help students prepare their school garden for the fall. Tide Head School’s
discovery garden was initiated in 2013 and has become a fundamental part of
learning for students. The school garden not only educates students about
growing plants and produce organically but also encourages wellness and healthy
eating. The project would not be successful without parents and volunteers to
help students care for the garden. Principle Heather Ross praised the team’s
efforts. “The Tigers did a super job helping with the weeding as first time
gardeners! Positive male role models are so important for the students at this
elementary age. We are so happy to be in a partnership with this great bunch of
guys who are always welcome in our school!” To see photos visit The Garden . .
