Arbor Day

Submitted by stacey.holmes on

We would like to congratulate our winner Andrew Hammer for "Trees are terrific from every angle".  The tree committee from Mapleton City came to share the benefits of trees.  The students saw a huge section of tree from one of the downed trees in the park.  They heard music on a hand carved wooden flute made by a Mapleton artisan, and heard a story and poem from Orpha Dee Johnson who was born in Mapleton and has lived in the city for 90 years.  The students learned how to plant a tree and helped put the soil on the tree that was planted.
