Thank You to the Sponspors Who Have Helped Manzo Students Create Habitat for Desert Wildlife
Several local sponsors have chipped in to help Manzo Elementary School students to plant native habitat in a vacant lot near the school. Generous donors are Home Depot with a $2,000 gift card, Trees for Tucson with 10 native trees, Desert Survivors with 30 native plants, Bach's Greenhouse Cactus with a native cacti assortment, Ward One and Egees with refreshments for planting days.

Manzo Elementary School students hope to attract wildlife to the native habitat they will plant this month on a vacant lot the school is leasing from the City of Tucson.

Work on the Sonoran Desert Biome will begin Saturday, Nov. 3, 2007, from 8 a.m. to noon when 10 trees will be planted and earth work done to maximize rainwater harvesting. Native shrubs and cacti will be planted on Saturday, Nov. 17. About 20 parents, teachers and volunteers from the Barrio Hollywood Neighborhood Association will help the 15-member Manzo Student Council improve the lot, which Manzo is leasing for 50 years at a cost of $1.

The area, located directly across the street from the northwest corner of the campus at 855 N. Melrose, will be used as an outdoor learning center and community space.

Thank you, sponsors, for helping to make this possible!
