Arbor Day Event
KENTUCKY...
An Arbor Day Celebration can be as small or as large as you want to make it. But, it must include the planting of trees. A large crowd, including the students at the school witnessed or participated in the ceremony. The event was held at the Robinson Creek Elementary School. This symbolic gesture has been held nationwide for over 135 years...since the founding of the first Arbor Day, and Pike County PRIDE joined others across the country in keeping the tradition alive. The main address was delivered by Pike County Judge-Executive Wayne T. Rutherford, with comments from Senator Ray Jones, Superintendent Roger Wagner of the Pike County School System and other dignitaries. Eight Redbud trees were planted by students at various locations on the Robinson Creek campus. The trees were donated to the school by the Pike County PRIDE organization. Principal Pat Burke served as Master of Ceremony.
