🌳 P7AL have embarked on a mission to make our school environment a little greener! 🌱🌍
Today, we've started planting fruit trees around our premises, not only to beautify our surroundings but also to contribute to a healthier ecosystem. 🍎🍐🍊
By planting these trees, we're not just enhancing the aesthetics of our space, but we're also providing habitats for local wildlife and helping to combat climate change. 🌿
