Photos from Arbor Day at Daves Avenue School

Los Gatos is "Tree City USA" for 29 years in a row!  A celebration at Daves Avenue School yesterday included talks by local officials and by students and, of course, the planting of some new trees. (Photos courtesy of Jim Handy.)

Three trees were planted in all.

An assembly of students gathered to hear talks by officials and classmates.

Los Gatos Mayor Barbara Spector addressed the crowd.

Adults did the first round of planting

And most importantly, the students helped to plant too.
