Jase Lyons, a second grader in Mrs. White's class, took top honors at Ronceverte Elementary with his prize-winning sunflower measuring a whopping 56 inches! The contest, sponsored by the Lewisburg House and Garden Club, has been in operation for many years. In the spring, members of the club distribute fertilized sunflower seeds to students in Greenbrier County Schools, so students can plant and care for the flowers over the summer. Hopefully, harvest time yields the "big one"!
The huge smile on Jase's face reflects his joy at being the 'big winner" in our school, as he accepted his winning certification, ribbon, and $1 dollar bill. We are grateful to the Lewisburg House and Garden Club for hosting this event and supporting our students in this wonderful community project!
