Local students celebrate Arbor Day, and Red Cedar Elementary plans Foxes Trot 5K

Port Royal Elementary students marked South Carolina Arbor Day by planting a tree at the Beaufort Garden Club, the bulletin reported. A school representative said the students learn from community partners and can visit local sites as part of hands-on learning. One child described the planting project’s components—hole, grass, branches, a nest and an egg—while speaking about the activity.

Separately, Red Cedar Elementary promoted its 15th annual Foxes Trot 5K and a Kitty Fun Run on March 7. Students said the starting and finish line will be at Red Cedar Elementary; the kiddie run for children 6 and under begins at 9 a.m., with the 5K starting at 9:15 a.m. The bulletin read entry fees as $25 for adults, $15 for BCSD students, and noted current Red Cedar students may register for free. Sign-up information was read as available at runsignup.com, and the bulletin referenced a fuller event video on the schools' YouTube channel.

The segment did not provide the specific school district name spelled out in full beyond the BCSD student fee reference, nor did it list contact names for event organizers; listeners were encouraged to check the schools' and county's online channels for registration and details.
