Schools collaborate to create new pollinator garden

Caroline Maly, a third-grader at Saint Mary Academy, helped her class plant a pollinator garden on May 15. St. Agnes School gifted the plants from its pollinator garden, which is maintained by its third-grade students. Saint Mary’s students also learned about the role insects and bugs play in the ecosystem, planted seeds in small cups to take home and made thank-you cards for St. Agnes’ third-graders students for their generosity.
