Emilees school has a holiday called James Lane day. James Lane was a former student who passed away a few year back from leukemia. James loved to make bird houses so on the first anniversary of his passing his parents donated 10 cherry blossom trees, a bench in his name and a rock with a plaque dedicated to him. every year on his anniversary the children of the school make bird houses and hang them in all the trees around the campus. They also have a planting ceremony and a class is chosen to sing a song. It truly is a beautiful memorial and the children get really involved the weeks prior to it. Since I was not invited to the ceremony it was for students only Emilee wanted to show me the Bird Houses. So Sunday when we were at the school for Cheer leading we got there a bit early to walk around and admire the houses. They are even more stunning in person. The kids did an amazing job. I'm sure James is smiling at all their hard work.
