New Hanover County Schools
Elementary
Student Entries Selected by TreeFest Committee
Slogan entries by two New Hanover
County Schools’ elementary students, Maggie Smith from Bellamy
Elementary, and Abbey Walker from Wrightsville Beach Elementary,
have been selected by the TreeFest Committee. This year’s
winning slogans are:
“Trees are Great in 2008!” by Maggie Smith
“Take time to plant a tree - Watch it grow and set your worries
free.” by Abbey Walker
A live oak tree will be planted in honor of both girls at each
of their schools. The plantings will take place on Friday, March
14, 2008, at 9:00 a.m. at Wrightsville Beach Elementary and
10:30 a.m. at Bellamy Elementary.
TreeFest began in 1997 as a way to replenish the trees lost
during Hurricanes Bertha and Fran and continues to provide trees
to the public to replace those lost during storms, disease, and
development. The TreeFest Committee includes representatives
from Keep America Beautiful of New Hanover County, New Hanover
County Cooperative Extension, New Hanover County Parks
Department, City of Wilmington, and other community businesses
and organizations.
For more information about the tree plantings, contact Jennifer
O’Keefe, TreeFest Committee Member, at (910) 798-4404.
