In the tiny town of Washington, NC, this estuary was beautifully and thoughtfully created by the town itself. It is obvious the great care that nearby schools, organizations, and citizens put in to keep their estuary running and educating. Their commitment to the environment and their community was inspiring and made me want to bring a motivation like the citizens of Washington have back to Cary Academy. The little town that seemed to be just a few blocks of buildings and houses turned out to be a rich community filled with care and commitment for each other and their environment – a great example for Cary Academy.
