THE STUDENTS in Mrs. Ruby Wallin's room
at Mars Hill Elementary School have worked
diligently this year every time there was a
contest in the school to win. Remembering the
bicentennial, they voted to use part of their
award money to purchase two pink dogwood
trees to plant at their school. Checking the
calendar for planting dates, they are shown
above beginning their job of planting the
trees. They hope they will live and grow
beautifully as a reminder of their love for
their school and their country.
