Sisters first-graders plant maple tree

Daisy Troop #50786, the Sisters Elementary School First Grade Daisy Troop, planted an autumn maple tree on school grounds on Wednesday, October 21.

The troop of 14 6-year-old girls with their leader, Wendy Vernon, and parents Annamarie Crosier and Peggy Hogue, placed, planted and watered the large tree as part of their continuing effort to help grow the community in a healthy eco-conscious way.

The 15-gallon tree was donated by Aspen Ridge Nursery of Redmond and Sisters city planners helped prepare the ground for the group.
