The project started as an environmental science unit in Daneille Todd-Jones’ fifth grade, and it will last long after these students are done with high school. On Wednesday, May 3, city officials assisted Springhill Lake Elementary School students in planting 13 pine trees near the school. The trees will grow fast, as much as 24 inches a year. They will provide a wind break and will stabilize the soil. In short, they will be good for the environment, which is exactly what the class wanted. To see more on this story, click here
