To commemorate 30 years after graduating from Wesley Grammar Senior High School, the class of 1993 planted 30 mahogany trees.
A sod-cutting ceremony for a 20-bed sickbay at the school in Dansoman, Accra, also commemorated the 30-year milestone.
"Remembering our identity as Grammarians, 30 years on" is the theme of the year-long commemoration.
The launcing ceremony, which took place on the school grounds last Saturday, also saw the old students, who numbered about 60, present Charles Nii Amasah Kotey, the association's founder and former year group chairman, with a citation in recognition of his dedication, commitment, and selfless service to the association and the school.
Support
According to Peter Prince Quayson, the chairman of the 1993 year group, members decided on the tree-planting activity to instill in pupils the habit of planting trees in and around the school and their communities to help safeguard the environment.
He said that the hospital's development would cost about $300,000 and would help students get access to high-quality medical care.
The chairman of the year group stated, "We identified the sick bay as one of the facilities that needed immediate maintenance and added tree planting as part of the Green Ghana program.
The construction of a sickbay, according to Mr. Quayson, would significantly enhance and address students' health concerns.
He gave the school his word that the organization would do everything in its power to promote its alma mater and advance efficient teaching and learning.
good examples
Sally Amani Darko Attopee, a member of the 1993 class and the assistant head of St. Mary's Senior High School in Korle Bu, claimed that members of the year group had set themselves up as role models for the younger students.
She said that because children look up to us, everything we do now will be emulated by them as they grow older.
Ms. Attopee continued by saying that the actions were undertaken to express gratitude for the early education and development they received from the school.
She said that planting trees will teach students the value of protecting the surrounding nature through their efforts.
Appreciation
Priscilla Amartey, the assistant headmistress of the school's domestic division, praised the group for its generosity and noted that it will help address some of the institution's pressing requirements.
However, Mrs. Amartey remarked that the school needed infrastructure like dorms, drainage systems, lamps, pathways, paintings, and many others, and she added that its doors were always open to anybody who could help.
