She further noted that trees play a vital role in keeping the environment safe and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joining the Director of MICCE, Martha Kargbo, and Dr. Owizz Koroma in the exercise were the Senior Principal, Dr. Koroma, the Junior Principal of the school, Mrs. Miranda Cole, and several pupils, who participated in planting the trees within the school compound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Grow and provide oxygen for man.
