Wyuka Historical Foundation Partner…
The Wyuka Historical Foundation has partnered with Hartley Elementary school to provide an Arbor Day tree for 2024. The 5-foot blue spruce now graces the school’s west side and was enthusiastically welcomed by Hartley’s Kindergarteners. Dubbed the “2036 Tree” it should grow about 6-feet in the twelve years it will take these students to graduate from high school.
Over one-dozen trees have been removed from the school grounds since its 2023-2024 building renovation. So, WHF is working with Hartley to restore the school’s landscape by supplying an annual tree.
Belmont Elementary Field Trip 2024…
Belmont Elementary has organized a tour in May for many years and the dedicated staff of the foundation has enjoyed every tour. The students at Belmont tell the younger students about their tour and when it’s their time, they will ask their tour guide if they get to see certain places. Although, there is more to see at Wyuka then the day spent walking the grounds.
The school also played a part in Wyuka obtaining the Firefighter Memorial statue and they have several bricks in the fundraiser sidewalk that they enjoy searching out. The school has a mini version of the statue in their library, so we try to always visit that memorial site.
