Volunteers needed for Storywalk at Neshobe School

The Neshobe school and PTO are looking for volunteers to help install the Storywalk around the Neshobe School.

A Storywalk can be temporary or permanent. The posts at Neshobe will be made of 4″ x 4″ pressure-treated wood set in concrete for a secure permanent footing.

Each laminated page will be protected from the elements using a sheet of plexiglass screwed down into a plywood base.

Special thanks to LaValley’s Building Supply and the Home Depot for donating all the materials needed to build the Storywalk.

The teachers and staff of Neshobe School are collaborating with the Neshobe PTO to create this wonderful Storywalk on Saturday, October 15, 2022, starting at 8 a.m. The holes will be dug with a tractor (thanks to parent TJ Dickinson).

Volunteers will be tasked with placing the post in the hole and filling it with concrete. We will have a school-wide ribbon-cutting ceremony to introduce the Storywalk to the community in the fall, featuring the book Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt, a science-related picture book by author Kate Messner.

Please email Craig Davignon at cdavignon@rnesu.org or the PTO President, Andrea Quesnel, at anquesnel@rnesu.org to sign up or ask any questions.

We hope to start at 8 a.m. on Saturday, October 15, and be completed by noon. In case of severe thunderstorms, the alternative date will be Sunday, October 16, at 8 a.m.
