🌳 Arbor Day Celebration – Volunteers Needed & T-Shirt Colors for School-Wide Photo! 🌈

Dear Families,
We’re excited to share that Oak Harbor Parks and Recreation is partnering with our schools for a very special Arbor Day Celebration! This event is part of a 5-year, $1.5 million grant supporting environmental education and outdoor activities in our community. We are currently in Year 2 of 5, and this year is extra special — all five elementary schools will be participating together on the same day and time for the first time!

🌳 What’s Happening:

On Friday, April 25, 2025, our school will take part in a fun-filled Arbor Day event right on our campus! Activities include:

• Planting fruit trees on school grounds
• Storytelling sessions
• Chalk art stations
• A live demonstration by a professional tree climber in our wooded area

📸 School-Wide Photo – Let’s Make a Rainbow!

To wrap up our celebration, we’ll be taking a school-wide photo, and we’d love every student to wear a specific color t-shirt so we can create a rainbow effect!
Here are the color assignments:

• Kindergarten – Red
• 1st Grade – Orange
• 2nd Grade – Yellow
• 3rd Grade – Green
• 4th Grade – Blue
• Staff – Purple

Please help your child wear the appropriate color on the day of the event!

🙋 Volunteers Needed!
