The Howell Road Annual Arbor Day Celebration was a memorable event and a tradition that students and staff look forward to each year. The entire school commemorated this special occasion by planting a blue spruce tree in the Howell Road schoolyard. Colorful perennials were also planted in the Reading Garden. The Howell Road PTA generously donated all of the plantings.
The Arbor Day assembly included the Howell Road color guard and members of the Student Council. Principal Frank Huplosky emphasized the importance of Arbor Day and everyone’s responsibility to take care of the earth. Crystina Windham beautifully sang the national anthem and a lovely poem was shared by the President and Vice President of Student Council, Nehilah Grand-Pierre and Jada Alleyne respectively. Board of Education Vice President Toni Pomerantz and Board Trustees Frank Chiachiere, Jeanne Greco Jacobs and William Stris joined students and members of the Howell Road family in the planting activities. It was a blooming celebration!
