Young learners from Rehoboth Elementary School joined Mayor Stan Mills and city officials for a community Arbor Day celebration that combined education with environmental stewardship.
Elementary students in grades four and five participated in multiple activities designed to highlight the importance of trees and environmental conservation. The festivities began with both students and Mayor Mills delivering a special city proclamation recognizing the significance of Arbor Day.
The celebration also honored young artists who earned recognition in the Delaware Department of Agriculture’s annual poster competition. Winners received awards for their creative work promoting tree conservation and environmental awareness.
Musical entertainment came from the students themselves, who performed the “Tree Song” as part of the educational programming. The highlight of the day was a hands-on tree planting ceremony held at Stockley Street Park, where students worked alongside city officials to add new trees to the community green space.
