During the weeks preceding Earth Day 2008, Selman Intermediate PTA held a friendly competition between 4th & 5th grade as their spring fundraiser. As monetary donations were brought in, students wrote their names on leaves & attached them to their grade level's tree. When all donations were counted on the 21st, 5th grade's total was $432 & 4th grade's total was $217. Proceeds will be used to puchase play equipment for the students.
As the winning team, 5th graders got 1st choice of which tree they wanted to plant. The trees were donated by Butch Rabius & Matt Thielemann owners of Trees Direct From Farm. Following the tree planting ceremony, all students were treated to icees & recess!
