Parents and students at Hopewell Avenue Public School began a fund-raising
campaign to raise money for trees in their barren playground with a tailor-made
holiday song Tuesday. They gathered in the playground, where all five trees had
to be cut down last summer after falling victim to the emerald ash borer beetle,
and serenaded kids going into the school with a song they made up to the tune of
Winter Wonderland. “Hey my friends, are you listening/in our yard, trees our
missing/but we’re here to say/today is the day/we can build a Hopewell
wonderland…” via
