Thank you Dr. Huston!
Last Tuesday students from Jefferson planted trees at Dick Huston's farm. This school field trip was a great learning experience for the kids and a nice follow up to the tree planting at Jefferson Elementary the week before. This is helping achieve the Rotary Club’s goal of supporting the International Rotary challenge of planting 1.2 million trees this year, one for every Rotary member worldwide.There were 93 third graders, Principal Yessica Louis, four teachers, custodian Tim and Todd Sesker who were involved. Rice County Soil and Water donated the trees and tubex. Stan Boe at Faribault Garden donated the fertilizer and Mike Ford at Farm and Home gave us a deal on the stakes. In addition Teresa DeMars from Soil and Water provided a lot of help. Dick's neighbor Mike Cashin helped to pre-dig the holes for the 60 trees planted at his farm.
Rotary continues to "Make a Difference!"
