one day where the boys had
a burping contest,” she said.
“I do feel that having these
lunches provides the students
with some peer time and it
reconnects them With the
school in a- different way than
academically.”
And it’s not only Bloom and
Bartlett who think the lunches
have had a positive impact on
the students’ lives.
“I enjoy the lunch, to be
able to interact with people and
just have fun with other kids,”
Keith Simmons said.
Cim Hansen said that the
lunches help make him “feel
better.” Both boys gave similar
reasons for appreciating the
lunches, stating that they love
the social aspect and that the
brief and occasional interac-
tion with their friends has made
quarantine easier.
Bloom stressed the need
for parents, school district
staff and the community to
remember the stressful nature
of the uncharted territories of
quarantine and isolation on not
only the youth but also adults.
She noted that patience, under—
standing and kindness are key
to getting through the pandemic
as unscathed as possible.

other riparian areas,”‘ Carter
explained.
Offered through the sale are
a wide variety of trees and
shrubs that are compatible with
the climate in the area.
“These trees and shrubs
fare iselect‘é’di ’f‘dr" their hardiness

Wyoming. These trees are
bare root or soil plugs and are
typically 8 to 12 inches tall,”
Carter said.
Included on the order forms
are a list of shrubs, deciduous
trees, evergreen trees and
crestwood potted shrubs and
a description of each plant.
Prices vary depending on what
a person purchases. Lots of 25

and individual trees are $35.
The district also offers planting
supplies, including landscaping
fabric, tree protectors and
anchor pins.
Selling trees and shrubs
isn’t all that the resource dis-
trict does, Clark explained.
“I am also happy to help
district members design their
conservation planting and
provide information on proper
species, spacing and windbreak
or living snow fence designs,”
Clark said. “I can also help

will also be offering their
Community Tree Grant, Clark
said.
“This is a 50% cost share up
to $500 that assists in planting
trees on publicly owned prop—
erty,” Clark said. “The city of
Upton and the Newcastle Tree
Board often take advantage of
this cost share to plant more
trees in city parks, around ball
fields and greenways. This
can also be used to plant trees
around public buildings such as
the library and courthouse. We
would love to see this grow and
to help plant more trees around
the county.”
Applications for the grant
are due by March 5, while
the tree orders are not due
until April 2, although Clark
said that the earlier you order,
the better.
“It is a good idea to order
early, as many varieties sell out
quickly,” Clark said.

Most of u: will survive if we get
COVIDJS. Some won‘t get sick

‘ We need the people of Wyoming
