Between Covid and the long winter we had this year, adding some color to your spring season will truly brighten up your day! The Squire interviewed high school science teacher, Mrs. Swanson, to find out her input on spring planting and gardening. When asked about her favorite thing to plant in her garden, Swanson stated, “I love to plant perennials which come up every year. I have lilies and peonies, which are amazing.” She has had four flowerbeds for more than 40 years. She also stated that she plants Geraniums and, “…bright flowers like Marigolds and Dahlias.” She also added that she likes to think of the plants she maintains as her children because she loves to take care of them and keep them safe while they grow.

For the first time since 2019, boys spring sports are back. Last year both boys’ baseball and boys’ track were cancelled due to Covid, and they are now in full swing. The boys’ baseball team has been off to a hot start, winning against most of their opponents in the beginning half of the season. They have seemed to come together and just have fun, which has brought them early success. For the boys’ track team, it is quite the opposite, starting off with some very tough losses and few wins.
