Spring has arrived early at Hayden Meadows Elementary School.
Under the supervision of teacher Vern Harvey, students have already begun preparing the school greenhouse for spring planting. The planting season commenced the second week of January when the school's garden club began unthawing and forcing tulips and daffodil bulbs for February bouquets. Beginning Feb. 7, fourth graders from Kristin Childers’ class started planting the geraniums.
There is no reason why Hayden cannot implement road, sewer and infrastructure projects on its own without an urban renewal agency. Hayden City Councilman-elect Tom Shafer’s recent My Turn editorial in The Press opposing expansion of the HURA district confirms to me why he will be a good city councilman.
The city of Hayden Veterans Commission will accept qualifying applications to engrave pavers for a Veterans Day installation Oct. 13 at the PFC Robert J. Gordon Veterans Memorial Plaza in front of Hayden City Hall for $150.
