the annual Arbor Day give away of a sapling to every fourth grader in

Kindergarten Seed Planting.
On April 13, 1999 a Stella Pink Dogwood
Tree was planted in honor of Miss Burns at the entrance of Sylvester
Field, Hanover, Massachusetts. Former Principal of Cedar School and an
avid gardener she started our program providing every fourth grader in
Hanover with a sapling to plant at home. We still continue this practice.
