Thank you Everyone!

Last Friday, 26 July, the students of Dayboro State School planted 122 trees and plants, joined by Councillor Darren Grimwade from Moreton Bay Regional Council, for National Tree Day. It was a beautiful, warm day and students worked enthusiastically in groups of three to plant, mulch and water the new plants along our rainforest boundary. Many thanks are given to George Briskey, our Facilities Officer, who prepared all the holes, shovelled mulch into buckets for students, filled up watering cans and assisted students on the day. Students wore huge grins as they carefully placed their plants in their new homes and admired the growth of last year’s plants.

Dayboro State School would like to thank Councillor Grimwade for Council’s very generous support of $500 worth of native plants and trees to extend the flora corridor along our school fence line. Thank you also to our parent helper, Mr Peter Humphreys, who assisted filling up watering cans, mulch buckets and freeing some root-bound pots!
