A new addition to the FPD landscape

There's a beautiful new addition to the landscape at Francis P. Donnelly Elementary School, thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Burgman, a retired Donnelly staff member who returns each year to share her love for and knowledge of trees. This spring, children at FPD learned all about trees, planting, and taking care of our earth. This year, Mrs. Burgman and the children in Mrs. Hatton, Mrs. Selby, and Mrs. Miller's classes worked together to plant a red oak tree, which will grace the FPD landscape for years to come.
