Fourth-graders at Wading River School celebrated Arbor Day on April 19 with an assembly sponsored by the Rocky Point Lions Club and the fourth-grade Foresters Program.  

During the assembly, the students heard from representatives of the Lions Club and Brookhaven Councilwoman Jane Bonner who spoke about the history of Arbor Day, the importance of replenishing trees and how to plant and grow a tree.

As part of the Foresters Program, each student will receive a Norway spruce sapling to plant in his or her yard.
