Roxbury Woman’s Club Donates Trees to Roxbury Schools
ROXBURY, NJ (May 2, 2022) – Thanks to a generous donation of seedlings from the Roxbury Woman’s Club, the grounds around Roxbury Schools will blossom and bloom for years to come.
In recognition of Earth Day, Diane Olivo, the Environmental Chair of the Woman’s Club organized for the district to receive 50 seedlings of Dogwoods and Bayberry trees. The seedlings were delivered Friday morning.
Olivo was at Lincoln/Roosevelt School to kick off the planting with the help of Principal Chris Argenziano and sixth-graders Emily Brown, Yara Elmaghraby, Nehemiah Machigua, and Reid Padfield.
In the coming days, the remaining seedlings will be planted at the remaining six Roxbury schools.
Thanks to the Roxbury Woman’s Club for helping to beautify the Roxbury Schools and community!
