Three Tulip Poplar trees were purchased and given to Crockett Elementary School by Brownie troops 2930, 1605 and 1475 with money raised by selling Girl Scout Cookies. The gift of trees was made as part of the girls “making the world a better place” and “giving back” to their communities projects.
Principal Bohrer and teacher Jason Newman dug holes for the trees, and the troops helped plant the trees on the playground during their recess.
To celebrate Arbor Day season, Jennifer Gosciniak from Keep Williamson Beautiful and Jay Sanders, from Middle Tennessee Electric recently talked with kindergarteners and first graders about the importance of trees through a program called Tree Wise. As part of the program, students were given a Kousa Dogwood tree to plant in their yard.
In other news, second graders learned more about the “6 Simple Machines” when Mr. Bond, the Science Guy, visited the school. They were able to have a hands-on lesson with many simple machines, and even experienced “electricity” at the end of the program. Alison Andrews, Lily Hollowell, Taylor Schmidt, Charlie Bedrosian, George Johnson, Patrick Sullivan, Carol Milne, Brady Gutting and Ethan McEwan even came up close and personal with a lightning bolt.
