Festival of Trees 2012

refFestival of Trees, Uncategorized

The Festival of Trees rocked this year! We had more trees than ever (over 70), more people than ever (over 2800 visitors), and made more money for teacher grants than ever (over $19,000)!

Thank you all for your support!

A special thank you to Silent Auction & Tree donors (see listing below)…

… And to Creative Arts for face painting, and KidSing, Middle School Select Chorus, RMHS Chorus, Taylor Hilliard, Amy Colby and Brian James for all the wonderful music!

Event Highlights:
