50th Anniversary Garden

 

Not all that long ago, the Pennekamp 50th Anniversary Garden looked like this:

 

On the left is a view from the walkway near room 25 looking toward the cinder block wall that is the northern most boundary of the garden.  On the right is a photo looking back towards the cement walkway.

 

These are other "before" photos.  

 

Today our garden looks like this!

Everyone admired our beautiful commemorative gate and the students' handiwork.
