Happy Arbor Day, Oxford! 🌳🌱✨


Oxford News, Events, Park Board

Last Friday, April 24th, we got to celebrate one of our favorite traditions with Mrs. Donley's 6th grade class—this year at Cave Park—and they did an amazing job! πŸ‘

With help from our utility crew, these students rolled up their sleeves and planted three new trees: a Kentucky Coffee tree, a Jefferson Elm, and a Weeping Cherry 🌳🌸🌿

After all that hard work, it was time to celebrate with pizza πŸ• and cookies πŸͺ (well deserved!) and enjoy a little fun together in the park.

The City is proud to be celebrating our 26th year as a Tree City USA community, and this annual Arbor Day tradition is something we always look forward to. Watching these students help grow our community—literally—is pretty special πŸ’š

A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Donley's 6th grade class for your hard work—you should be proud! 🌱

And a special shout-out to Casey’s for the pizza and cookies πŸ•πŸͺ, Gottlob Lawn & Landscape for the beautiful trees, and Bittersweet, LLC for the awesome custom Arbor Day shirts πŸ‘•—you helped make the day extra memorable!

We had such a wonderful day celebrating with Mrs. Carpenter’s 1st grade class! πŸ’š The students wanted to help with a project at one of our beautiful parks, and planting flowers is always a perfect way to brighten up our community. 🌸🌼

These planters had previously been downtown, but we thought they’d be a great addition to Cave Park—and the 1st graders did an amazing job bringing them to life! 🌷

A big thank you to Primarily Plants and Floral, especially KayDee and Cassidy, for helping us pick out the best flowers for the park. 🌿 And another huge thank you to Malinda Jellings with Bread of Life Bakery for the delicious cookies that made the day even sweeter! πŸͺ

Fun was had by all, and we’re so grateful for a community that comes together to make our town shine! ✨
