 The greening of Saturn continues on Tuesday, May 4, as we celebrate National Teacher's Day by planting trees around the Saturn playground!
Saturn classes are learning all about trees using TreePeople's award-winning Schoolyard Explorers curriculum so they'll be ready for the big planting day. Trees will be planted around the playground perimeter, providing desperately needed shade and leaving room for implementation of the Saturn Master Plan, which calls for many, many more trees, including the addition of the Saturn Forest!
Volunteers Needed - if you're interested in joining the Green Team for this event, please contact Ashley Thompson at
