We have living shade!
A huge thank you to everyone who helped plant trees on May Day! We have more than doubled the tree canopy on the Southwest areas of our campus with 14 new Lindens, Catalpas, Big Tooth Maples, Sensation Boxelders, Hackberry, Suckerpunch Choke Cherry, and Kentucky Coffee Tree, and Bur Oak. In addition to our wonderful school community, a number of local organizations were instrumental in making this happen.
