Teacher Tree for Poe, in honor of Miss Yolanda Pierre

Yolanda Pierre spent her entire 36 year teaching career at Poe Elementary – 20 years of first grade and 16 years of kindergarten before retiring in May 2011. We have begun to organize a tribute to her remarkable career achievements and lasting legacy at Poe.  In honor of Yolanda Pierre’s 36 years of teaching at Poe Elementary, we are raising money for a Teacher Tree to be planted in front of the school, taking the place of the large tree we lost a couple of years ago. 

The Teacher Tree will honor all of the great teachers at Poe and will be dedicated with a plaque honoring Miss Pierre. We will plant an 8” diameter live oak tree in early November and add bench seating around the tree area.

We need your help to make this happen!
