Over the course of this year, the Chester Elementary School K-Kids Club have been learning about the environment and the value of recycling and taking care of the Earth.
In the upcoming weeks, the K-Kids and Ms. Keglovitz will continue to water and care for the tree. As part of their mission to save the planet they continue to collect bottles and cans for recycling. The proceeds of these collections go to the Kiwanis International Eliminate Program, which is serving to eliminate Neo-natal tetanus throughout the World.
