🌳 Farewell to Lonnie our Lemon-Scented Gum Tree 🌿
Many of you will know how hard I fought to save Lonnie, our beautiful lemon-scented gum that has stood proudly at Mooroopna North for many many years. Unfortunately, despite every effort, the time has come to say goodbye. 💔
Lonnie is much more than just a tree. It has provided shade for generations of students, been the backdrop to countless games, conversations, photos and school memories, and has become a very recognisable part of our little school.
Before Lonnie is removed, we would love to give our current families, past families, former students and members of our wider community the opportunity to come together underneath the tree one final time.
🌳 Friday 23 October
⏰ From 2:00pm onwards
🧺 BYO picnic
Come and share a picnic, catch up, tell some stories and help us give Lonnie the farewell such a special part of our school deserves.
We may not have been able to save the tree, but we can certainly make sure we celebrate the place it has held in the story of Mooroopna North. 💚🌿
