Arbor Day...

To celebrate Arbor Day the First Graders at B.A. Kennedy walked to the St. Feriole Island Gardens.  They heard a proclamation of Arbor Day by the City Administrator,  Mr. Aaron Kramer.  They listened to Mr. Terry Meyer, Co Public Works Director, talk about how to safely trim trees and care for them.  Mr. Mike Ulrich, City Park and Recreation Director, talked about the Emerald Ash Borer.  They saw what the bug looks like and saw what kind of damage it does to trees.  Mr. Tom Nelson talked about the history of trees on the island and the First Graders planted a tree in honor of Aldo Leopold.  

First Graders, take your families down to see the tree that you planted on Arbor Day in the Gardens!
