Students at Sacred Heart Port Lambton recently celebrated Arbour Day in the fall.
The Catholic elementary school was chosen by Hydro One as a partner school in its environmental initiative to bring awareness to young people about the importance of trees.
“Our students learned that trees play a vital role in sustaining life on our planet,” said Principal Carrie Webb Coene. “They are a symbol of growth and resilience and they provide us with clean air, shade and a habitat for countless species of wildlife.”
The utility planted a maple tree in front of the school, and each student received a seedling to take home.
Ontario Provincial Police also participated in the hands-on event.
“Just like trees, our police play a crucial role in our community,” said Webb Coene. “They protect and serve us by working to ensure our safety and wellbeing.”
