Living memorial

From left, Solomon Harkins and Naomi Wain­wright work in the gar­den at Oak Creek Ele­men­tary School Thurs­day morn­ing. The second-grade stu­dents work in the gar­den on a reg­u­lar basis. The gar­den was cre­ated in mem­ory of Jar­ret Feucht, whom attended the school when he was killed in an auto acci­dent. The memo­r­ial was cre­ated in 2008 and includes a sit­ting bench and but­ter­fly gar­den, a veg­etable gar­den and a shel­ter. The pro­duce from the gar­den will be sold by the school’s Car­ing Club dur­ing the fall fes­ti­val. (Gazette | Liz Robertson)
