Eco-Activists!

What we did in class today:

As "Eco-Activists" we are proud to have planted a tree today outside BCS. Congratulations to Dylan Walton, Julia Kiehle, and Hannah Balicki for their hard work in making us all aware of the importance of protecting our trees as part of their Environmental Issues in Action project. Thanks to the BCS Proud Dads for gifting us with our beautiful red flower crabapple!
