PHS Interact Club, Follow the Daffodil Road

Ms. Risoli and the Interact Club teamed up with the Peekskill Garden Club to work on a project that is historically significant, botanically beautiful, and well, kind of dirty. By now, most Peekskillians know that the inspiration for The Wizard of Oz’s

was the real yellow brick road that ran from the Hudson River  up to The Peekskill Military Academy (which once stood where PHS is now).

In order to pay homage to this legend and make our city a little prettier, the Garden Club is planting a trail of Daffodils along the same path that the yellow brick road was supposed to have run. Armed with shovels and rakes, the Interact Club had to climb out on the hill behind the school to plant the bulbs that will bloom into a road of daffodils in the Spring. It was hard to stay on the hill and dig through the rocks, but as always, it looked like the Interact Club had a good time doing a good deed.

Interact Farmers For a Day were: Caitlin Orhelein, Karen Archila, Priscilla Ayora, Cynthia Vele, Karla Hernandez, Laila Cunningham, Genesis Aldana, Yaritza Sanchez, Andrew Wise, Stephanie Gil, Josue Carresquillo, Mikyla Abdul- Azim,and Ariana Mem
