As part of a NeighborWoods application submitted by teacher, Deana Perry students planted nearly 20 trees on October 20, 2010. Trees were planted around the perimeter of the playground and along the front entry of the school. “I submitted the application so we could plant trees were the children play,” said Perry. “In the summer we just bake on the pavement, we are looking forward to watching the trees grown and the canopy expand for the kids to enjoy.”.jpg)
Among the 20 trees planted that day, the kids of Washington Irving helped plant the 20,000th NeighborWoods tree—a fast growing sycamore. After which, one third grade student commented: “One day I'm going to bring my kids here to show them the tree I planted.”
