Today we celebrated our 2nd Annual Planting Ceremony in observance of Earth Day. This event serves to highlight the theme for 2023 which is to "Invest in Our Planet''. The journey to invest in our school's garden began last year when Ms. Reed was selected to lead the National Farm-to-School program in which her class learned to become Master Gardeners. Ms. Reed and her class planted several vegetables and fruit trees that still stand today. Although we no longer have this program, it still planted a seed within our hearts to continue to give back to our school.
We would like to extend our gratitude to City Councilman Mr. Gilbert Gonzalez, Commissioner Jesse Gonzalez, and Laredo ISD Board President Monica Garcia. They have each kindly donated a tree. Their contribution helps us continue our goal of beautifying our campus and reiterate the importance of protecting our planet.
