This spring, our fabulous fifth grade classes at Lakehurst Elementary school rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty. With guidance from the Rutgers Master Gardener Program of Ocean County, they have transformed the outdoor garden into a welcoming area that the entire school can enjoy. Mrs. Kathy Bixby, one of the master gardeners is a retired teacher from Lakehurst Elementary School. Mrs. Bixby and Ms. Denise Boughton generously volunteered countless hours to share their knowledge and skills with Ms. Maggie Mc.Nair and Mrs. Kathy Hoerster’s 5th grade class throughout the garden project.
