KILLEEN â Students from Brookhaven Elementary along with staff, Soldiers from Bravo Company, Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, and Cen-Tex Sustainable Communities Partnership members from Fort Hood, Killeen and Copperas Cove joined together to beautify the schoolâs footprint and plant flowers April 14.
Trista Webb, third grade teacher, and Ester Hadley, counselor, led the collaborative effort to help students connect with nature and learn about social responsibility, environmental stewardship and teamwork.
âOne team, one goal is how we thrive here at Brookhaven,â Webb said. âTeamwork is number one, and number two, we teach students to give back at an early age. When they get older, it will be inherrant to them to continue to give back to their community.â
