Tire Planters Set in Place

It was the second last day of school, so I was anticipating the work ethic might be weak.  But, boy! was I ever surprised!

A small group of senior students of JH Moore Elementary worked tirelessly to get the planters in place before their summer break.  A couple of the boys dug dirt for four hours straight!

In brief, we moved the tires into place, starting with the first layer, filled them with dirt, put the second and third layer on, lined them with tarp and then filled them with dirt.

How wonderful it was that when we finished an educational assistant and student came out of the school right away and planted rose bushes into three of the planters.  Then the principal informed me that a grandmother from the community was coming the next day to plant flowers.
