The different types of trees that are good to plant in Houston and how to care for a tree.

Damiane Banieh, attorney, gave an outstanding presentation on juvenile law! She reminded the students how a simple mistake can be very costly, not only in money, but in life. As she told them, 'I hope I never see you in my office!" One student asked,"Why?" She said, "It means you need legal help." She reminded them the importantance of making good choices, staying in school, education leads to wonderful opportunities and true friends wants you to succeed, not bring you down. "Who you hang with, tells who you are!" We appreciated her honesty and great advice and we hope to see her as a speaker next year!
