Last Friday, Rock Springs Elementary and dozens of our students were involved in a wonderful tree-planting event. It was a sunny morning in Escondido and our school was joined by new community partners Urban Corps of San Diego County and Tree San Diego, to plant 30 crepe myrtle trees. The trees were planted along the west side of the Rock Springs campus along Rock Springs Road. A huge thank you to EUSD's Maintenance and Operations team for coordinating and planning this event. Thank you to Mrs. Ramirez and her enthusiastic helpers as we worked together to make our school and community more beautiful!
