Marietta Hanigan (pictured), a fourth-grade teacher at Haddonfield Friends, is going to raise her second Canine Companion service puppy this year with her students. The new puppy is a yellow lab named Tyrone. She and her class formerly raised a black lab puppy named Hope, which went on to graduate from training and now serves a family with disabilities. The new puppy will have an integral role in the classroom, just as Hope did, attending school every day and being an additional friend for the children in the class.

Fourteen- and 15-year-old “counselors in training” from the JCC camp in Medford recently learned first-hand why New Jersey is called “The Garden State” by helping senior residents at Spring Hills Cherry Hill establish a new organic community garden right along Route 70, formerly a country road through the state’s historic farm country. The teens helped elderly residents plant tomatoes, peppers, carrots, cucumbers, strawberries, beans and tasty herbs including basil, rosemary, chives, cilantro and mint. Once the plants are ready for harvest, the produce will be incorporated into healthy meals for the residents.
