New Albany Garden Club sponsors new raised garden beds for EXCEL students.

EXCEL students in grades 2-5 at New Albany Elementary have new raised bed gardens for their gardening studies and activities.

The new gardens are being sponsored by the New Albany Garden Club and were constructed by Construction students from the Career & Technical Center.

EXCEL students enjoyed beginning their gardening project by filling the raised beds with dirt during the week of November 27.

EXCEL teachers at NAES are Glen Reeder and Ninabeth Capaning. Construction instructor is Rick Robbins.
