Learning Gardens Are Blooming at Marrington With A Little Help From Their Friends!

Marrington Elementary School is creating a variety of learning gardens. The first one that has been completed is the “Reading Sanctuary.”   This is an outdoor classroom for students to enjoy a beautiful, quiet area for reading and observing nature. Future plans include creating a vegetable garden, an art and observation area, and a recycled garden.  

Volunteers from the Naval Munitions Command (NMC) Unit Charleston graciously are donating their time and talent to make the dream of this most special environment a reality. Community Engagement is one of Berkeley County School District’s initiatives.  The Marrington family is grateful to have such enthusiastic support within the military community!  This is a big win-win for families and friends of all Marrington students!
