Our trees are one of our greatest natural resource and saving our environment is a job for all no matter the size. This was the lesson for students from Spooner Elementary School who learned all about our enviroment during "Be Green Week". The week was held to celebrate two special national days of recognition, Earth Day and Arbor Day. The students started the week learning all about the founding of Earth Day. The students were also involved in a special presentation about the great edible delights we can gather from our trees, maple syrup. They spent the week learning all about the importance of preserving and taking care of our precious planet. The week was capped off on Friday April 27, Arbor Day, through a series of special events. It included a tree planting at the school and another near the railroad museum. Each grade participated in a series of related activities focusing on Green topics. The celebration also focused on the Arbor Day proclomation made by the mayor, Gary Cluskey and a series of tree inspired talks. Thank you to the Spooner Advocate who created a video summary of the days events.
