Check out this fun way to Read, Write, and Relax at EMES!
A few of years ago, one of our teachers, Mrs. Lawson, came across the idea of a hammock reading garden and thought it would be a perfect fit for our school. She imagined a place where students could enjoy reading while spending time outdoors.
The project became possible through a Montgomery County Educational Foundation grant, with funding from the Dr. Dale Margheim Memorial Fund. After receiving the grant, we learned that Dr. Margheim, a lifelong educator and former principal of Shawsville Elementary School, loved both reading and the outdoors, making this project even more meaningful.
Students had their first chance to enjoy the hammocks this week. We are excited to see this space used and enjoyed by many more students for years to come!
A special thank you to the Montgomery County Educational Foundation and the Dr. Dale Margheim Memorial Fund for helping bring this idea to life!
