Today we came together to celebrate Native American Heritage Month with help from Brianna Brown, Aaron and Mandala. Plant Oregon donated native plants for Willow Wind classes to plant and nurture and Siskiyou Seeds donated some Apache Red corn that will be planted in our garden this spring. We read "Be A Good Ancestor" together and shared thoughts about the well loved willow tree that fell this week, leaving young willows behind to grow. The students reflected on what they could do today to make the world a better place for tomorrow. Thanks to all who helped!

Our beloved willow tree fell in the windstorm last night. The students have so many memories of the gifts we have received from this tree over many years. Thanks to an amazing Willow Wind parent, we have young willows grown from the old tree flourishing on the property. Today students are sharing their memories and planning ways to honor and remember our old willow friend!
