With monies generously donated by The MVMS PTO, the Woodward family, and Wheelabrator Industries, we have purchased the greenhouse model pictured below -The Matterhorn. It is manufactured by Rimol Greenhouse Systems, Inc. of Hooksett, NH. Rob Rimol, the owner, met with MVMS staff on several occassions to determine which model and size would suit our purposes. We are grateful to Rob for his assistance and for the flexible financing he arranged so that we could purchase and construct the greenhouse in phases. As you might imagine, to acheive our vision of what we want Carl's Memorial to be will require a good deal of effort and material. We hope that our friends in the community might wish to help us with their time, needed materials, or monetary contributions. This is a community project, a benefit to our community, and a fitting tribute to a beloved community member - Carl Woodward. If you have time to help, materials to spare, or money to donate, please contact us through the email function on this page or by calling the school and leaving a message for the Carl Woodward Memorial Greenhouse. |
