The Wadena High School Class of 1981 gifted a tree to Wadena-Deer Creek Public Schools on Saturday (June 11) during the All-School Reunion.

The hybrid elm was planted in front of the WDC Middle/High School, between the parking lot and Highway 29.

According to Class of '81 Secretary, Lori (Evans) Kneisl, the tree was planted partly in memory of classmates who are no longer with us and to remember all of the trees that the city of Wadena lost during the tornado in 2010.

"But mainly, it is just a gift to the school from the Class of 1981," Kneisl said.

Assisting Kneisl at the tree planting event, was classmate Phil Goeden of Alexandria.
