It was at the greatest moment of mourning that staff members and students conceived an idea. There was an old piece of yellow crusty grass between two wings of our school that never received much attention. That narrow strip of grass has now come to symbolize what our school is all about. Where there was nothing, we have created The Linwood Nature Center. Mocking birds now nest in our Weeping Willow, Bradford Pear and Japanese Maple Trees.
Robins bathe in our birdbath.
Hummingbirds sip nectar out of bright orange Lantana. Monarchs hover over our Butterfly Bushes. Rabbits hide behind Crepe Myrtles. Children run, laugh and read their favorite books in Linwood's secret garden. Linwood is a school of readers.
