Perennial Gardens
Mirror Lake Middle School formed a new School Business Partnership with the
local Greenhouse, Perennial Gardens. Owner Dawn Nugen demonstrated how to plant
geranium cuttings Mirror Lake’s Effective Skills Class. Geraniums were saved
from the previous summer, tended to throughout the winter, and then cuttings
were made in the early spring. Jeanni Blakeney and Emily Blahous supervised
this project. Some the cuttings have already bloomed, were potted, and gifted
to school secretaries. Others were used for students’ Mothers Day gifts. Still
others may be sold or given to the school community. A Career Technology Grant
will provide this class with their own camera to record the monthly progress
and care needed to grow cuttings and seedlings. We hope this School Business
Partnership will provide career pathways for our Specials Needs Students.

It would be interesting to note that Augie Hiebert, Father of Communications in
Alaska, is our mentor. He comes out watch our news broadcast team regularly. He
has partnered us up with Dr. Fred Pearce, and Carole Lund from UAA’s School of
Journalism and Public Communications. He has introduced us to Anchorage’s
“movers and shakers” in the world of communications. He is helping us start our
own radio station. He is not only a mentor and teacher, he is our friend.
