BETTENDORF, Iowa — Neil Armstrong Elementary students celebrated Earth Day, April 22 by coming together as a school and planting a red oak tree.
All the students read the same book, `The Wishtree’ by Katherine Applegate.
The book is about a community coming together despite differences in culture. Just like the characters in the book, students came together and tied their wishes to a fence.
