Planting Sunshine
On a sunny and warm Wednesday in November,
Onekama Elementary School students worked together to keep their school
grounds beautiful. Onekama kindergarten, first, and fourth grade
students were given the fun task of planting flower bulbs along the
school playground and parking lot.
The students demonstrated high
spirits, teamwork, and patience, as their teachers explained to them
that they would not see the fruits of their labor until the flowers
bloom in early Spring.
They also took ownership of the
project. “It’s our school, so it’s our job to keep it looking nice,”
said first grade student Madisen Clouse. “When the flowers come up and I
walk into my school, I’ll get to see them every day.”

When the snow passes and the
flowers do bloom, these students will no doubt remember the beautiful
fall day and the spirit of cooperation that made this all possible.
