Weeping Willows

East playground between playground and ball field

Every Year since Mr. Taylor has been the principal of  Park Brook Elementary, the students moving to the secondary-level of education from Park Brook Elementary plant a tree with their class to commemorate their elementary years and leave a lasting legacy at Park Brook Elementary.

A Tree Brings Beauty to the Neighborhood

A mature tree brings beauty to the neighborhood.  In the same way, each student at Park Brook, wherever their journey takes them, should bring beauty to their neighborhood!  

The burning bush will turn brilliant red each fall, bringing beauty to the neighborhood, just as each of our students should in communities where they live, work and play!

Roots

A tree or bush needs strong roots to grow!  Our students need strong roots.  We want our students to value their families, value their culture, and to know and remember the values of their families.

Mulch

We will place mulch around these bushes to protect them as they are growing.  We remind students that trusted adults, whether that be parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers or other loved ones, are here to protect and love, and that means giving what they need.

Branches

A tree or bush is beautiful with many branches covered with brilliant leaves.  Just as a bush will have many branches, we want students to have many branches in their lives, and branches of their choosing.  Branches are their hobbies and interests, from athletics to music, and reading to painting, explore  and be willing to try new adventures!  Be involved in extracurricular activities, in your community, and in service to others.

Water

A bush without water will not grow.  Education will help you achieve your dreams. Continually learn, be in school, and dream big!
