Mrs. Murray's Garden and Greenhouse Dedicated


Honoring Educator Mrs. Joanne Murray: At the dedication ceremony were members of her extended family. Granddaughters Alexandra and Samantha held the sign. With them, from left to right, are Mrs. Patti Marino, Katie Marino, Deidre Murray, Colin Murray, and Margaret Murray.

With the help of a $10,700 donation from the Westbrook Foundation, a commitment from the PTO for support of ongoing expenses, and donations of in-kind services from local businesses and community volunteers, a new greenhouse and garden grew.

Last week Mrs. Murray's Teaching Garden and Greenhouse at Daisy Ingraham Elementary School in Westbrook was named in memory of the long-time local educator at a special ceremony. On hand to celebrate and honor her dedicated service to  children as educator were members of Mrs. Murray's extended family.
