4th, 5th, and 6th grade planted a tree today to celebrate Arbor Day. Laurah Morton (Coach Parsons's mom) came out today with a beautiful Cedar Elm and all the needed supplies. She spoke to the students about the importance of trees and worked with students to plant the tree on our playground. Students participated in every aspect of planting. They helped prepare the ground, tree placement, filling the hole with rich soil, and finally, spreading mulch and watering.
Thank you so much to Laurah for coming out today and to our generous, anonymous donor who took care of all the needed materials!
Also, a special thank you to Daryl Atkins for helping us dig the hole this morning!!

Books we read include "Weird but True Rocks", "A Rainbow of Rocks", "A Rock Can Be...", and "If Rocks Could Sing".
Visit our Facebook page for MANY more photos.
