Shy’Quan Wingo shovels fertilizer out of a bucket to place in a garden hole in which an oak leaf hydrangea will be planted. Wingo and his fellow students worked with parents and community volunteers to spruce up the bank outside of Tryon Elementary on Wednesday, June 6. Organizing parent April Kelley said numerous businesses donated plants, a landscape design, additional materials and more. Kelley said the project would be completed in several phases as part of Principal Ott Sizemore’s five-year plan to beautify the campus. See page 5 for more photos. Photos of the completed project and a list of contributing businesses will be included at a later date. (photo by Samantha Hurst)
