This wonderful focal point sits just in front of the reading rug in our library and has a unique story. Our principal, Mrs. Keech, saw this tree in a play she attended at Durant Road Musical Theater. She immediately envisioned her K-2 students sitting under this tree for storytime. The tree was used in two plays, Shrek and Alice in Wonderland. One day, Mrs. Keech received a call from the theater and they offered her the tree. She was overjoyed and gladly accepted. The tree was made by a 14-year-old student named Luke Campbell. It had to be taken apart and transported in separate pieces. Then it was brought into the library and put back together. The tree is a unique feature in our library. Thank you to Durant Road Musical Theater and Mrs. Keech!
