In their last week of school, Richards Career Academy High School students picked up shovels and dug holes to plant eight trees around their school in Back of the Yards.<\/p>\n

For most of the students, the event was their first time planting a tree, but they hoped it wouldn\u2019t be their last. They were initially hesitant as tree experts guided them through the process. But with each tree they planted, they became more comfortable forcing their shovels into the dirt and picking up soil.<\/p>\n

Among the student council members planting trees at Richards was sophomore Alexa Jimenez.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought it was a good way [just to get outside], \u201cJimenez said. \u201cI don’t really go outside on my own.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
