Submitted by okadmin on Tue, 06/10/2008 - 16:42.

Class 30 "Green Team" cadets started out with the Keep Oklahoma Beautiful campaign and by joint efforts with local elementary schools organized an Arbor Day event in the spring of 2008.  The teachers taught students about Arbor Day and the importance of trees and flowers for our environment and why we need to Keep Oklahoma Beautiful.  To reinforce that learning, TYA cadets showed the students how to plant trees and flowers.
