Cherry Blossom Tree Planting Ceremony at Lake Braddock
You've probably noticed some new trees that line the school's main entrance drive. These six cherry blossom trees were generously donated by All Nippon Airways as a result of a grant request written and submitted by Ms. Yuki Melvin, Japanese language teacher here at Lake Braddock. This week, representatives from All Nippon Airways and the National Cherry Blossom Festival staff members visited the school to take part in the tree planting ceremony. Guests were treated to beautiful musical performances and a great speech by some of our students.
We are very appreciative for these incredible cherry blossom trees and, much like our Japanese program here at Lake Braddock, we look forward to watching them blossom for years to come.
