HOWELL – Howell Township third graders celebrated Arbor Day with members of the Shade Tree Commission on April 30.
Howell third grade students participated in an Arbor Day poster contest entitled “If I were a tree…” and winners received an azalea bush courtesy of the Shade Tree Commission.
All Howell schools were also given a tree to plant in celebration of Arbor Day.
