Second graders in Mrs. Krause’s class conducted research on the trees at Marshall Street. When the children discovered that the courtyard does not have a tree, they were determined to find the perfect specimen. They selected a Honey Locust tree for the space because it withstands air pollution, provides dappled shade, is drought tolerant, and gives both food and shelter to animals. 🌳🐦🐿️
This project was completed in collaboration with Riverbend Environmental Education Center’s Nature-Based STEM Community of Practice. Additionally, the tree was planted in honor of Mr. Jim Krombach, who taught Kindergarten here at Marshall Street for many years. We are grateful for the donation of the tree by Mr. Pete Corbo and its installation by Corbo Tree and Landscaping employees.
