The Heppner Elementary Student Council held a
tree planting for the school with trees they had purchased
to replace ones that had to be cut down earlier this spring
due to their size and problems they created.
HES students were upset about the loss of the trees
so the council, as a gift to the school, used the money
they had raised selling popcorn at the school to buy three
trees.
The Morrow County Grain Growers helped the
students decide on trees that would grow to only around
25 feet and would mature with small branches.
During the ceremony, HES students gathered
around and read poems about trees. The council spoke
about their experience at HES and the meaning it held
for them.
