The Herndon Connection tells us that Oak Hill Elementary students are learning to plant some trees and help save the environment.
On Arbor Day, April 26, the third-graders at Oak Hill Elementary School had a chance to get their hands dirty and plant some trees. It was all part of Dominion Virginia Power’s environmental program Project Plant It!, a fun and educational way to help the children learn about trees and the environment.
The winners and statistics on all the runners who participated in Saturday’s Oak Hill Howlin’ and Prowlin’ 5K run have been posted. There were 155 female and 147 male runners in the contest.
Winning female:
Shirley Thurneysen, 45 of Herndon (22:56)
Winning male:
Bryan Kirby, 25 of Alexandria (17:14)
