Catholic students take home tree seedlings for Forest Week
Poll
5 – Excellent work
Hundreds of trees are finding new homes in Medicine Hat this week. More than 300 Medicine Hat Catholic school students took home tree seedlings which they can plant at home.
Grade 1 and 2 students from St. Francis Xavier, Mother Teresa and École St. John Paul II each took home a seedling as part of Alberta Forest Week.
Around 40 students took trees home at St. Francis Xavier and the kids were excited, says principal Jaimie Van Ham.
“They were a little surprised because we didn’t tell them in advance, but they were excited to take them home, show their parents and find a special place for them,” said Van Ham.
