Dear Greyhound Family,
We’re excited to announce the upcoming launch of a special project to enhance the area surrounding our greenhouse! Bryan Reising is leading this initiative to transform the space into a beautiful, welcoming environment for our community.
Please refer to the attached document for an overview of the project. The layout includes sections labeled A through L, each representing a designated area around the greenhouse. These spaces will feature flower gardens, benches, trees, a pavilion with picnic tables, and plant beds.
Each designated area will include a commemorative plaque acknowledging the individual or group behind the donation, or honoring the memory of a loved one. Pricing details for each space are included in the attachment.
If you're interested in sponsoring a section, please contact the district office within the next two weeks at 618-537-4611 or email Lisa Hardy at lhardy@lcusd9.org. Smaller contributions are also welcomed and will be used toward additional plantings not specifically marked on the diagram.
Bryan is collaborating with Market Basket in Shiloh to source all plantings for the project.
We truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to bringing this beautiful vision to life together!

Yesterday my friends from 3rd grade came to visit the Cafeteria! In their classrooms, they just finished a unit on plants and planted sunflowers. In the Cafeteria we made dirt cake and talked about the different layers in our soil. We used pudding, cookies and of course gummy worms! Fun was had by all, especially when they were able to enjoy their treat at lunch time! Thank you Mrs. Clemens and Mrs. Otten for incorporating the Cafeteria into your lessons!
