Back Issue: June 24, 2005 | KDES students from Team 1/2/3 got a lesson on the value of caring for the environment through planting trees and recycling, courtesy of the Doubletree Hotels Teaching Kids to CARE initiative. Volunteers and staff from the Doubletree Hotel, Crystal City (Va.) came to KDES on May 26 to deliver Colorado Blue Spruce seedlings. One was planted on a hillside on the west side of the school grounds, and an additional five trees were planted in a planter bed behind the school. Each child also received a tree to take home to plant. The event was one of more than 125 tree plantings through a relationship with The National Arbor Day Foundation, Doubletree Hotel volunteers, and elementary school students and youth organizations across the nation to plant more than 10,000 trees this spring. Grounds Services Manager Jeffrey Weiser (left) helps Ethan Ettienne plant a tree in honor of Barbara Kaufman, a Team 1/2/3 teacher/ researcher who is retiring this year after more than 30 years of service to the Clerc Center, in recognition of her dedication to teaching.  |
