Children & Elders Forest, in cooperation with
Bloomington District 87 and Bloomington Parks and Recreation, announces the
first phase of Golden Grove, which honors the gold of the sun, located between
Bloomington Junior High School and Bloomington High School. This first phase of
Golden Grove, the fifth grove in Children & Elders Forest, includes 89 trees of
21 species to be planted in a secluded area between BJHS and BHS. The ceremonial
planting of the first phase will be in the Fall of 2008.
This is an opportunity for alumni and friends of
Bloomington Public Schools to purchase a living memorial and to make a shining
contribution to the learning environment of District 87's young people, their
teachers and staff members. (See order form below.)
