Wells Elementary School

For the past 21 years, kindergarten students at Wells Elementary School have planted tulip bulbs on school grounds in the late fall.  This year was no exception, as the tradition continued on November 12th with 100 bulbs being planted in a garden near the school’s playground.  

Early in the day, over 100 holes for the bulbs were pre-dug by school volunteers who later assisted the students in burying them.  During their recess period students emerged from their school one class at a time.  Once outside, they received some planting instructions; then, each child was handed a bulb of their own to plant. Those volunteering their time to assist the students during a windy afternoon were Meredyth Sullivan, Rachael Kloss, Laura Sacoco, Dianne Trachimowicz, Amber Wolf, and Angela Gagnon.      

As in years past, the bulbs were purchased and provided by the school’s PTSA organization.  The event was organized by Wells-Ogunquit CSD Community Resource Coordinator Maryanne Foley.
