RAYNE - Delayed a week due to the unusual “snow storm” that froze over Acadiana, the Rayne Garden Club hosted the 2025 annual Arbor Day program on Wednesday, Jan. 29, at South Rayne Elementary.
The 2025 “Remembrance” program/donation was held in memory of deceased members of the Rayne Garden Club.
Donated were gardenia hedges as part of the landscaping project to be completed on the front lawn of the school near the school’s sign and frog statue. South Rayne Principal Claire Senegal, joined by SRE Disciplinarian Ashley Granger, thanked the Rayne Garden Club for the donation for the project and their continued support of Rayne schools. In addition to all the acknowledgments of all the Garden Club members who have passed on through the years, a Gardener’s Prayer was recited during the program.
