Trees make a world of difference and a group of Walt Whitman students got the opportunity to make a difference for them. Arbor day was celebrated on the last Friday of April and this year found a large group of local high school students at a Dix Hills Park planting trees. With the help of the town of Huntington, students dug and planted young saplings that some day will provide shade on a hot summer day.
For Whitman, team leader Epiphany Ramirez organized volunteers who grabbed shovels and took charge. With the guidance of arborists from the Arbor Day Foundation, a field of trees took shape. Congratulations to Epiphany and the following student volunteers from Walt Whitman: Alivia Barton, Danielle Wechsler, Katelyn Donahue, Nicole DeMartino, Jeanine McNulty, Kilian Duclay, Keeyse Aparicio, Juan Gonzalez Contreras, Gabrielle Ramirez, Leslie Portillo, Ilana Desmond, Zenab Ojibe, Verdelle Saint Jean, Tim Jobson, Taylor Fox, Nicole Rowe, Rumeysa Mete, Esteban Lopez, Josh Joseph, and Joel Quiles.
