Hunters Glen celebrates Earth Day by planting trees

Thanks to the incredible support of the Hunters Glen Elementary Parent Teacher Organization, and the enthusiasm of their students with fundraising, Hunters Glen collaborated with the City of Thornton to plant trees on the playground for Earth Day. 

Special thank you to Mrs. Drewes 5th grade class and Miss Pasyk’s 2nd grade class for their help. Students learned the benefits of trees from City of Thornton Forestry staff which donated 5 shades trees that will shade their playground when grown. Together, we're growing a brighter future for our school and our planet. 

Special thanks to the Hunter Glen Elementary community for submitting this Five Star Story.
