Why I Love Trees Contest
 

In April 2008 (toward the end of kindergarten), Bram wrote an essay about "Why I Love Trees," and he was one of the winners selected to have a tree planted in his name at his elementary school.

The contest was sponsored by Jeremy Starritt, a candidate running for our local school board.

 
This was Bram's essay:

The trees halp to see war the wind is going. The trees halp to gat nuespapr. Trees halp uthr anumls like ans. Ans need the leevs to choow on.

(The trees help to see where the wind is going. The trees help to get newspaper. Trees help other animals like ants. Ants need the leaves to chew on.)

Bram and the other winners got to go to a local nursery and see the types of trees that would be planted at their schools.

Bram's essay was also featured in an online article about the contest.

Here is a video montage of the winners:
