Essex Elementary School
Sharing the Joy!

Plant a Tree...and Remember Me
Kindergarten students embraced Arbor Day by planting a new redbud in the courtyard. Through song and a bit of storytelling, we shared our appreciation for all that trees offer us. Thanks to a donation from ProTurf, all kindergarten students received a sapling to plant. As kindergarten students grow, the changes can be measured alongside their new tree!
One More Time!
