In honor of Evan O’Connor’s life and
memory, a flowering apple tree was
planted on the grounds of Scofield
Magnet Middle School.
On the morning of Thursday June 22,
2006, the 7th Grade
Silver Team, school faculty, family
and friends of Evan gathered for a
very emotional and touching tree
dedication ceremony.
We
wish to thank all involved from
Scofield who actively participated
in organizing and arranging for this
dedication. Thank you to Michael
Smith, Amanda Contento, Elizabeth
Slifkin, Paula Kotara and Jess
Hanway who read their dedications
and poems. We also wish to thank and
acknowledge Dennis Jones for taking
the lead in the dedication and for
sharing his touching and poignant
words.
