Students read poetry and were treated to a visit by Smoky Bear and Denise Croker from the Georgia Forestry Commission. Croker spoke with the children on the value of trees as a renewable resources as well as how many products are made from trees.
"My favorite is M&M's," Croker said. "They're made out of Cocoa which comes from trees."
The Tree was donated to the school by Home Depot.
