This year, eighth grade students threw themselves into the Arbor Day spirit by earning $299.75 in the four-day bake sale that was held during lunch. With the funds, we were able to plant five fine trees on the South Whidbey High School campus. Four of the trees are located along Maxwelton Road. The Coral Bark Japanese Maple was placed in the staff parking lot. Their beauty will undoubtedly slow traffic in years to come. In addition, a group of my sixth period students picked up all of the trash in an area freshly cleared of blackberry bushes. I'm already looking forward to next year's planting.
