Golden Charter Academy scholars got their hands dirty last week, partnering with Tree Fresno to plant five new trees.

The second-grade students were able to geta a hands-on experience and bring their environmental commitment to life.

Tree Fresno representatives welcomed the energetic GCA scholars to the planting site with inspiring words. Staff emphasized the importance of environmental conservation and community involvement.

In kind, the second graders delivered a heartfelt poem that highlighted their passion for the environment and hope for a greener future.

Working Side by Side

The pupils and staff worked side by side: digging, planting, and nurturing three Keith Davey trees and two Redbud trees.

This opportunity allowed the pupils to play an active role in their community, promoting tree equity and sustainability.

The blending of hands-on learning and dedication to sustainability prepares pupils to become responsible and engaged global citizens, ready to make lasting contributions.

Additionally, the event served to reinforce Golden Charter Academy’s core values. The academy is committed to installing environmental stewardship into curriculum.

This partnership exemplifies that mission, teaching students about the impact of direct action and importance of caring for the environment.
