SOUTH MILWAUKEE, Wis. — All South Milwaukee School District fourth graders will have the opportunity to plant trees Friday in celebration of Arbor Day.
A tree planting ceremony will be held at Blakewood Elementary beginning at 9 a.m., with the fourth graders receiving seedlings provided by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
"The School District of South Milwaukee is thrilled to continue our partnership with Ellen Colby and The MARM Farm. Through her efforts, we have been able to bring the educational experiences from our schools into our local community. We sincerely appreciate the ongoing collaboration and partnership,” said Deidre Roemer, Superintendent of the South Milwaukee School District. "We are grateful to the Wisconsin DNR and Johnson's Nursery for their support in cultivating a greener future."
Students will also learn proper planting techniques from an expert at Johnson's Nursery, who will plant a tree on school property. This hands-on experience fosters a sense of responsibility as students contribute to the ecological health of their environment.
