Get in on the Green Tree Challenge!

Something new this year—let's get a critical mass of inflatable Christmas "green trees" going for the holidays. If you've ever driven down Monroe Street in December, you know about all the Santas, so let's build our own "Green Tree" movement here! If putting up lights isn't your thing (or even if it is!), an inflatable tree is an easy and fun option/addition to making some magic happen! Think Big! Think inflatable! Think Christmas Tree! (any kind will do :)

Updates:

Anana Students north of Schroeder Road

Earlier this year, GTNA shared information about Anana Elementary School's effort to set up a Walking Bus to help students who live north of Schroeder Rd cross safely to and from school, since they live just within the boundaries of MMSD's bussing policy and no bus is provided for them.

The School Board recently approved a bus stop for the 2025-26 school year for students residing on the northside of Schroeder Rd, based on it being a hazardous route! It is undetermined whether this will continue for following years but is great progress for our community!Visit ourAnana page for more details.
