Dresser Elementary School Celebrates Arbor Day!






On Friday, April 30th the Dresser Elementary School students' celebrated Arbor Day. Students were able to take part in a coloring contest, performed Arbor Day songs while donning colorful tee shirts and participated in "Nature Station Rotations." The station rotations included an examination of a tree as it progresses through the seasons, proper ways to plant a tree, students were also able to use their imaginations to create "pinecone creatures," studied the wildlife that lives within trees and concluded their station rotation activities with an adventurous hike through the forest. Village of Dresser Public Works employees demonstrated for the students how to properly plant a tree. The tree was planted behind the Dresser school building and will be enjoyed by our future generations. Each student also savored a variety of delicious treats donated by local businesses, taking home a "baby" tree with accompanying planting instructions. Thank you to all who participated in Dresser Elementary Schools special day.
