If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in. - Rachel Carson

My Oak Tree
By: Mikayla Haigh
5th Grade Student
Screven County Elementary School
We planted the oak tree when I was small
Neither it nor I were very small.
As my tree grew and grew
The size it would become, no one ever knew.
My oak tree would shade me from the sun
And held the swing that was oh so much fun.
The day I married the love of my life
Under my oak tree, was where I became his wife.
My children and grandchildren, all three,
Knew how much I loved my oak tree.
When God calls me away,
Beneath my oak tree is where I’ll lay.
Those who are left behind me,
Please take care of my oak tree.

This event took place at the Screven County Recreation Center. KSB sponsored "Water Cycle Bracelet" and "Recycling" stations.
5th Grade helps start recycling & litter prevention programs at SCES
5th Grade Team teachers Mrs. McBride, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Bargeron have started a recycling and litter prevention program at SCES. Their students, along with the ZOOM students will be collecting newspapers, magazines, and scrap paper to recycle. The newspapers and magazines will be donated to the Screven County Service Center located on Cherry Street. The rest of the paper along with all cardboard will be picked up by the Screven County Solid Waste Recycling Crew.
These students have also "adopted" the entire SCES campus. By adopting, the students will ensure that the campus stays litter-free. They will be placing trash cans on the playgrounds and around campus.
ZOOM Class adopts road in front of school
The SCES Zoom Class has adopted Frontage Road in front of the school through our Adopt-a-County Road program. They are also helping start a recycling program at the school.
Georgia Arbor Day
KSB members Byron Haire, Stan Sheppard, Katherine Weeks (also with the Garden Club) and Lisa Guidos along with Caroline Pope of the Georgia Forestry Commission helped Gloria Parker and Marti Odom of the Screven County Garden Club plant two trees at SCES. They planted a Bradford Pear and two Cherry Bark Oaks that were donated to KSB by our State Representative Jon Burns through the Georgia Forestry Commission Seedling Program.
