One single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions and the roots spring up and make new trees.

Bye, Bye Birdie

Our last bulletin board of the year celebrates spring. Students cut leaves and birds and the garden blooms!

A black line helps students cut out birds for our tree and to sit on the power lines.
