Rodriguez Elementary Students Help Beautify Their Campus


The ACE (afterschool program) students at Rodriguez Elementary School in Harlingen held a tree planting ceremony on February 10th.   Here they are preparing to plant the two trees they received from our "100 Trees for 100 Years" program.  Their club sponsors are Petty Salinas and Rosie Barajas.  The ACE coordinator for Dr. Rodriguez Elementary is Robert Lerma.       
Before the work began, one of the students read a poem about trees. 
The shovels you see in the first photo are not just for show.  ALL of the students pitched in and got their hands dirty!
Principal Traci Muir Gonzalez, pictured here with two students, has much to be proud of.
