A Garden for Florida
Fourth grade students participated in Garden Dedication Ceremonies on March 12, 2013. Springwood is one of 500 schools across Florida to plant a native wildflower garden and to dedicate it to a special Floridian in celebration of Florida's 500th birthday. We chose to honor John Gorrie, a physician and an inventor who paved the way for the invention of air conditioning. A biography writing contest was held and the top two essays were chosen to be read at the ceremonies held that day. Students also wrote and shared original poetry, sang Happy 500th birthday to Florida, and planted our state's wildflower, Coreopsis. WCTV news covered the event and we were featured on the evening news!
