Waverly preschool students celebrated Arbor Day on April 28 with a tree donation and planting by Stutzman Services.
Stutzman Services posted this story and photo gallery on their website.
The Child Development Center at Waverly Elementary School received a special gift on Friday. With the help of some eager preschoolers, Landscape Designer Bill Marshall of Stutzman Services planted a donated red alder tree in the school’s playground.
The Arbor Day planting served not only as a hands-on educational opportunity for students, but also as an unofficial ground breaking for the preschool’s new playground. Stutzman Services has donated Marshall’s time to design the unique playground and this tree is one of several to be included in the final product.
The red alder is native to Oregon and currently stands at about 10 feet tall. “I was expecting something much smaller. This is so nice and the kids are going to love watching it grow,” said preschool teacher Katy Allaback. “We are just so thankful for the donation and support from Mr. Marshall and Stutzman Services.”
The annual HEART to Heart Resource Fair sponsored by the Albany Homeless Enrichment and Rehabilitation Team and Community Services Consortium is scheduled for May 18 at the Boys & Girls Club.
The event provides health resources and information for individuals and families in Linn County who are homeless or living in poverty.
South Albany social studies teacher Tony Vandermeer’s Modern U.S. History class recently visited Mennonite Village for a class discussion.

The following images are from the event. Mr. Vandermeer said, “It was impossible to tell who enjoyed the visit more, the students or their new friends at MV!”
It takes many dedicated people to run our schools and help them be successful. Executive Assistant to the Superintendent Jim Haggart has been helping Tangent Elementary School start the day successfully this year. He spends a few hours at the school in the mornings to help things run smoothly.
The school recently honored him with an assembly and the gift of an “all-star” tie:
This year, Tangent Elementary has had many new faces in the building. One in particular is Mr. Jim Haggart from our district office. We have had the privilege of his amazing support everywhere in our building from the front office, to the cafeteria, and throughout the classrooms.
Today, he was recognized during our morning assembly by the staff and students with a Tangent Stars t-shirt and tie, as a special thank you for his ongoing support of our school. It gives us great pleasure to recognize him as part of our Tangent family and we truly appreciate his presence!
