Garden dedicated to Chandler Booth
MOULTRIE, Ga. — Second grade students at Sunset Elementary School recently dedicated a garden in honor of Chandler Booth, a former Sunset student who is currently battling cancer. The idea was generated after Irene Cox donated 100 lemon seeds to students for their new garden. Once the seeds were donated, the classes planted, observed, and measured the plants as they grew. After the trees were ready, Doug Yarbrough, 2nd grade teachers, and students planted the trees in a special section of Sunset Elementary’s garden and named it “Chandlers Garden.” When the trees begin to produce lemons, students will cultivate them, make lemonade, and donate all profits to the Lemonade Stand Foundation. The donation idea came from a book students read earlier in the year called “The Lemonade Stand,” which is about a girl that creates a stand and sells lemonade for cancer research.
