PHOTO GALLERY: Schulte Students Learn, Celebrate Arbor Day
From bugs to tree health to the importance of recycling, students at Schulte School in Sturtevant spent Friday learning and celebrating for Arbor Day.
Thanks to an urban forestry grant, students at Schulte School got a great introduction to the importance of Arbor Day.
Led by volunteers from the Sturtevant Beautification Committee, the Master Gardeners from UW-Extension, members of the Buildings and Grounds Department at Racine Unified and students from Case, the day featured 9 stations of hands-on experiences through which classes rotated.
Without the combined efforts of Joe Reeves from RUSD's Buildings and Grounds and Sue Novak, a first grade teacher at Schulte, the day would not have come together. It was the first time, Reeves said, that the buildings and grounds department had ever been involved in a school directly.
