🌳Growing Tree Preschool Arbor Day Celebration 2026 🌳

What a tree-mendous morning it was to celebrate Arbor Day! This year, our students from both our Hunt Club and Viking Park classrooms gathered to plant 2 NEW oak trees at the newly opened Jim Goshorn Park.

Between storytime with Executive Director Mr. Mike, singing the “Plant a Tree” song, and helping Miss Katie the Plant Lady and Mr. Greyson the Tree Guy plant two new trees, the morning was packed with learning, smiles, and a chance to explore the new playground!

Special thank you to our amazing teachers and staff for making this another memorable event for our students and guests!
