This morning our school planted 60 trees. We received the trees, per grant, from Trees Forever. What a blessing!
{My husband is a doer, I tell ya. And while it takes him away from us, I sure love him for it. His servant heart and helping hands are on the top of the list of what makes him extra awesome. He spent a lot of time this week preparing the trees for planting. Thank you, my love.}
The morning started with chapel, followed by a demonstration on how to plant the trees, and away each group went. As you can imagine, 60 tree is quite the undertaking. Those kids were busy little bees and did a fabulous job working together.

| All busy! |

| See Charlie and Ruby there? You bet. You better believe this was a family project. They will one day benefit from the trees and benefits they bring to the school, so we all pitched in. Do we like getting dirty? Eh, not really. But teaching our kids the act of service is far better than clean hands. |

| Good job, girls! |

| The school crew! |
It was a messy morning with all the rain we've gotten this week, but the sun was shining and that was a gift. The kids were eager to have a fun morning of being outside. We are thankful for a place our children go daily, that not only cares about their smarts, but their character and ability to work hard, and work together, to make their school a better place.
