Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina

050123 sacredheartSALISBURY — Sacred Heart School in Salisbury celebrated the grand opening of the school’s new Master Garden space and honored Earth Day on April 29.

Activities included animal encounters, guest speakers, seed planting and arts and crafts.

The garden was envisioned by Liz Edwards and was made possible by an Education Foundation Grant. Jim Brincefield and Shane McCormick, who worked on the garden, cut the ribbon. Father John Eckert blessed the new special space.

Students enjoyed some creatures, including delightful alpacas, adorable goats and even some majestic bearded dragons. The animals were provided by Coach Epps, Zootastic and Rowan Wild.

Students also planted sunflowers and learned about the shrinking land and the importance of taking care of our planet. And to make things even sweeter, students learned about honeybees and how crucial they are to our environment. Students made a craft that they can display proudly in their homes as a reminder to always be mindful of our impact on Earth.
