The sunny morning of June 1 provided the ideal atmosphere for the annual kindergarten tree planting. A tradition that began on the Saratoga campus, the tree planting gave the children the opportunity to leave kindergarten with something that “serves as a living memory of their first year at Harker,” said Sarah Leonard, K-Gr. 3 division head. The students gathered at the front of the Bucknall campus and were treated to a story telling by lower school librarian Kathy Clark, before each student shoveled a small amount of dirt into the hole where the small cherry tree was placed.
