River Campus 5th Graders Plant Eastern White Pine in Honor of the Seneca People

May 4, 2024 | Repost from Genesee Community Charter School FB

River Campus 5th graders acted on their learning about the Seneca people, who were caretakers of the land where our school is now, by planting an eastern white pine, a symbol of peace in the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The tree will serve as a reminder to be peaceful conflict mediators, to reflect, and to learn from our mistakes. Nya:wëh to the River Campus 5th graders!
