Blue Tree Project

At Brownsville, we have a small group of 5th grade students who were introduced to this project while they were in 4th grade. They will be involved in talking to and sharing information to other students in our school about the Blue Tree project. The Blue Trees installation will be lead by Kon Dimopoulos at Brownsville Elementary from 9:00-4:00 on April 26th, 2018. Activities will run through specials classes. Check with Ms. Horridge and Ms. Wittkowski for more information.
