New Trees for Beaumont Middle School

Nov 21, 2000

By Janet Baker

By the time you are reading this newsletter, we will have three new trees on the south side of the middle school. On November 18th, Rob Crouch, City Forester and Beaumont resident, his crew and the students planted three trees. There is a tree now on either side of the sidewalk that leads students to the front door. Another tree was planted in one of the wooden boxes to replace a tree that died there.

The next step in the project will be to landscape the beds on either side of the southside door. Students, parents, and other Beaumont residents helped clean out these beds in late September. Hopefully all those helping hands will return to plant shrubs and trees in early February. We will be announcing the exact date of this event at a later time.

We are also planning to repaint the ?“pencil fence?” as part of our overall goal of improving the appearance of the school. We will be contacting the original fence designer to get his thoughts on the best way to repaint the fence.

Many thanks to everyone who is helping with the project!
