Sanibel third-grade students celebrated "the tree" by presenting poems, essays and information about Arbor Day last Friday. After studying about the history and sig- nificance of Arbor Day, the class presented a program of essays and poems io their parents and the school's second- grade students. Following the program, students planted an Alamo Live Oak in the school's grove east of the building. Guests of honor at this year's celebration included Lee County Commissioner Ray Judah, Sanibel/Captiva Conservation Foundation Executive Director Eriek Lindblad, Sanibel Natural Resources Director Rob Loflin and Berdenna Thompson, who organized the program. After the student presentations, Judah said, "The essays were wonderful. This reaffirms my conviction about Sanibcl's commitment to the environment. I'd like to take your (the students') show on the road to the county com- missioners' meetings. "There is no question in my mind that the parents take a great interest in the school and help guide the nurturing and education of their children. They give the support to the school to help the students grow up to be responsible individuals.
