This tree planting was made possible through funding from Chesapeake Bay Trust and DNR’s 5 Million Trees for Maryland Program under an Urban Trees Grant. Thanks to this support, all plants were fully installed by December 13.
These trees will have a lasting impact on our school and community for years to come.
Bring your little ones for a joyful morning filled with delicious pancakes, holiday cheer, and a special visit from Santa. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the season together and support the Aberdeen school community.
