On August 1 and 2, 2013, the monkeypod tree which provided shade in front of our school campus was removed. It was bittersweet: although the tree was beautiful, it had grown disproportionately, and "safety first" is always the most important factor in making decisions. We were fortunate that the work could be completed before the students' first day of school on Monday, August 5.
We share some photos and comments in this slideshow. If all goes according to plans, we will have a piece of the tree in our new administration building. (We're still working on this plan.)

Farewell, old friend . . . we will miss you.
