Andrew Greger drills the first wooden leaf onto John Muir Elementary School's ‘Giving Tree’ during the monthly PTA Art and Antique Fair on Saturday, April 6, 2013. The unique hand-made 10 ft tall plywood tree, created and built by the parents and children of John Muir Elementary is erected at the entrance of the school. Each donor will have a leaf with their name placed on the branches of the tree in recognition of their support. The Annual Giving Campaign was started to help raise funds for the school’s art, science, technology and music programs. It also helps fund field trips, reading specialists and basic school supplies. The school hopes the tree will "bloom" with support this Spring. Any donations can be made via Paypal on the John Muir website www.myjohnmuir.org or mailed or dropped off to the school at 2526 Sixth Street, Santa Monica, CA 90405.
