They cut down 20 or 30 small elm trees that were trying to take over the trees that are wanted. After filling 3 or 4 dumpsters and 10 garbage bags the area looks quite nice. They also trimmed the lower branches of the trees so that the trees will not obstruct the driveway when they grow larger. Thanks to these students.

The audience watched in amazement as the lights turned off and children sang out with the words: We can be a Light. Shining Everywhere. All across America. Showing people that we care. The evening was capped off with a slide show of the 145th Battalion serving in Iraq, while students sang “Proud to be an American.” The students had a great time preparing for the program and would like to especially thank Kari Hansen and Shawn Crane for their help with the slide shows.
