"BUILD - A - TREE" Activity at
USA Elementary School
Arbor Day 2024 - Our Education Technician, Patty McNinch, visited USA Elementary School for Arbor Day and had the classrooms "Build-A-Tree" Activity with the entire building. After a presentation to the classes, materials were provided for each classroom to cut out different parts of a tree and place it outside their classroom for the public to view. It was a fun time and these pictures show some of the finished trees that were on display in the elementary school. Thank You USA Elementary School for celebrating Arbor Day with our Conservation District!
District Manager, Mike Boike, recently cooked all the delicious Hamburgers, brats and hot dogs for our office-wide BBQ luncheon. It was a fun time with LOTS of delicious food! Thanks everyone for the food and laughs!
