Central School News
In celebration of Arbor Day 2013 Principal Hartland and students from Mrs. Dean's 5th grade class helped plant a beautiful young lilac tree on the Arlington Street side of Central School. A City of Brecksville arborist explained that this tree is replacing an ash tree that was killed by the Emerald Ash borer, an insect that has devastated the ash tree in North America. Mrs. Dean's students asked many excellent questions regarding the lifespan of the tree, its anticipated height, methods of propagation, and other questions related to the ash borer.
Embracing the proverb, "many hands make light work", Mr. Hartland and his eager 5th grade laborers enthusiastically refilled the hole and our new tree was planted. Thank you to the City of Brecksville for making Arbor Day 2013 a special one!
