Perkins County’s fourth (above) and fifth (below) grade classes gathered Wednesday, May 5 at Grant City Park to celebrate Arbor Day by planting three trees with the help of tree board members as well as Lions Club. Tree Board member Jon Forney provided the students with tips on how to best plant trees and facts about trees both in general and specifically those planted at the park. The students wore t-shirts provided by Cotton Empire, which the kids designed themselves. The trees were donated by the Grant Lions and the City of Grant.
