Recently, with the support of the Shand Green House and SaskEnergy, about 25 members of the John Paul II Key Club continued their commitment to planting trees ... lots of trees! This year the students planted 1,400 trees in the Battlefords. Over the last seven years over 15,000 trees have been planted through this project. The students see it as contributing to the next generation. As Keith Anderson, former parks and recreation director for the City of North Battleford said, "The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago; the second best time to plant a tree is today." The students of the Key Club have taken this notion to heart and have made a commitment to "Treeing the Valley." Teacher advisors Dennis Mercer and Joey Sadlowski both agree this is a legacy the students can be well pleased with and proud of. As student Katrina MacKinnon said, "Won't our grandkids be amazed to learn where this little oak forest came from!"Photo submitted
