Robotics Team Helps Plant Trees in Rego Park


It took over three months but we did it! TreesNY donated 5 trees, two arborists, and an educational coordinator to help P.S. 139 plant trees, educate over 120 kids about trees and tree maintenance and help us have pride in our school. The educational coordinator went into over 5 classes ranging in grades 1-5, talked about trees for 20 minutes, took the kids outside, and helped them plant trees. Arborists were on hand to answer questions and help install the trees. NY1 also came and interviewed people from our school. P.S. 139 was on NY1 and had the opportunity to tell their story to all of NYC.
