Over the past few months, Chester-East has organized a committee to design a living memorial for the Constant/Gee students who died in September. To keep their memory well in their hearts, the school planted three trees in remembrance of Justina Constant, Dillen Constant and Austin Gee. A rosebush has also been planted to honor Tabitha Gee. Here, the eighth- and sixth-grade classes led the school outside to the living memorial, where each student, teacher, faculty member and guest released a balloon.

See story below.
