Colfax second graders plant tulip trees

Second-grade Jenning’s Elementary students planted two trees on Thursday, Sept. 22, at Schmuck Park in observance of Arbor Day. The trees are planted with a marker provided by Colfax Monument. Second-grade teachers are Bev Stubbers and Bobbi Mackleit. A total of 48 people participated in the project. Molly Rice and Parks Supervisor Steve Larkin assisted. Larkin noted the Colfax Arbor Day observance is done in the fall because tree planting at this time of year has a better rate of success. This is the 12th year of the observance.
