    The storm drains were originally painted by CKS students a few years ago, but had faded over time. The new signs bear the same purple and gold message – Shark Pride, Protect the Tide, Dump No Waste.

    By Anna Lavoie-Ingram, CKS journalism class

    David Sweet and George Douglas from the Levy County School Board were at Cedar Key School last week to repaint and touch-up the bright purple waves and shiny yellow pride on the gymnasium walls.

    While painting, these guys crack jokes, laughed, and clearly enjoyed what they are doing.

    David and George said they come to CKS every five years with three gallons of yellow paint and 10 gallons of purple, then spend six to seven days painting the gym.

  • Cedar Key Community Garden stands as tribute to City’s unique charm

    The Cedar Key Community Garden, located on 2nd Street by the Island Hotel, recently had a Fall cleanup doing the usual garden maintenance activities.

    Things like renewing the mulch around the beds, pruning vegetation, putting more compost in beds that had settled. The communal transplant bed was planted with seed for cool weather crops like lettuce, spinach, kale, chard, beets, collards, etc.

    In about three weeks, all the garden members will then share the transplants, which will shorten the time to harvest. We got a lot done.
