To celebrate Arbor Day / Earth Day, the students of Nicklin were invited to participate in planting a tree at Kiwanis Park. We also helped recite the poem "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer.

The poem is below, and each class recited a line of the poem. Our class' line is in bold.
"TREES" by Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day, and lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear a nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree.
