On Friday, the fifth graders (my own Braden and Dalton included)at Greenfield Elementary School planted a tree to celebrate Arbor Day and dedicated it to Sandy Hook. It was a wonderful event, the news even came out. Our principal wrote a letter to send to Sandy Hook, along with a picture, similar to this one, of all the 5th graders and teachers. You can read the letter here in the Botetourt View.

Kudos to the kids for thinking of others! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Sandy Hook killings must have sent shivers through teachers, parents and maybe even children everywhere. If it happened there, it could have happened anywhere. It is wise of the school to make something to remember positively out of the experience.
ReplyDeleteThat is so thoughtful! Planting a tree is nice enough, but dedicating it is really special. What a great lesson for all.
