Such a fantastic legacy project being created at H Such a fantastic legacy project being created at Hodge Road Elementary in Knightdale by the 5th grade. Artist Jeannette Brossart is working with the kids to create mosaic stepping stones for the school garden. 

The stones are all differently designed pollinators. The rocks were donated from the Wake Stone quarry and Vulcan Materials sponsored the project! Teamwork makes the dream work!
