Beekeeper Visits Gwin Elementary
Ken Moore, grandfather of Gwin Elementary third grader Reagan Moore and first grader Keegan Moore, visited the school recently to share his hobby of beekeeping with Ashley Dark’s third graders and Kathy Tyson’s first graders. Moore has been beekeeping for six months and is expecting his first batch of honey in July. The children were able to see what a beekeeper wears and why, as well as a video and posters explaining the life of a bee. At the end of the presentation, the students enjoyed samples of honey and the comb. The presentation was part of Dark’s “Family Fridays,” when students welcome family and friends to the classroom to share information about jobs, hobbies and cultures with classmates.

Boys from Cub Scout Pack 63, sponsored by Canterbury United Methodist Church, earned their Arrow of Light awards March 22. The ceremony at Canterbury was held to present the boys with the highest award given in Cub Scouts. This award is the only Cub Scout badge that can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform when recipients graduate into troops. To earn the award, the Scouts had to first earn their Webelos badges and then complete requirements for five activity badges and the Honesty and Character Connection program. They also had to complete several other required tasks, including setting up campsites, cooking meals outdoor and tying knots. ❖
