William Penn HS Farm to School Program is named a  Superstar in Education

Congratulations to the William Penn High School Farm to School Program for their recognition as a Superstar in Education! WPHS Agriculture students farm acreage at Historic Penn Farm, managed by Delaware Greenways.  The big surprise of the evening was a $5000 award from Dupont to develop a large wildflower garden at Historic Penn Farm in honor of Kate Pickard, long time teacher in the program.  Great job everybody!

Great News for the Bayshore Byway

On April 30th, Governor Carney, Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester, and other government officials cut the ribbon on a new Aquatic Resources Education Center located at 2520 Lighthouse Rd in Smyrna.  The center is a jewel in the Bayshore Byway necklace, one of several planned cultural and stops for travelers.  At the event, DNREC officials and the Bayshore Byway committee announced that the byway will extend from its existing route, all the way to Lewes with spurs connecting the small beach communities along the way.  Its great news for the Bayshore, and for Delaware's residents.
