Canonsburg students plant seedlings for Earth Day

Nine Canonsburg Middle School seventh-graders spent today planting trees at the borough park to celebrate Earth Day.
The students said that all seventh-graders had to write an essay explaining why community service is important for teens. The top three essay writers on each seventh-grade team came out to plant the trees in partnership with the borough.
Science teachers Brian Cornali and Chris Hairn planned the event. Cornali said 70 seedlings were provided through the Pennsylvania Game Commission's Seedlings to Schools Program.
The student planted white pine, pinoak and viburnum seedlings.
