Introducing the New Garden at Mary Snow School! We are excited to unveil a beautiful new garden, created as a collaborative project by a local Girl Scout troop made up of dedicated students from Mary Snow School, Fruit Street School, and the William S. Cohen School!

This vibrant garden features a variety of sections designed to educate and inspire. The pollinator section attracts essential bees and butterflies, helping to support our ecosystem. In another area, students are growing tomatoes, peppers, onions, and herbs for making delicious homemade tomato sauce. We also have a flourishing asparagus patch and an array of melons and squash, perfect for hands-on learning about gardening and healthy eating.

The troop was recently interviewed by WVII ABC7 and will be featured on tonight's news at 6 and 6:30! (9/17/25)

This project not only beautifies our school community but also fosters teamwork, responsibility, and a love for nature among our students. Join us in celebrating this wonderful addition to Mary Snow School!
