Emmelee Garcia, left, and Miya Rodriguez, students at McCook Elementary, stand in front of the Colorado Blue Spruce that was donated to McCook Elementary in memory of Isaiah Casillas. The girls are cousins of Isaiah, who was a first grader at McCook Elementary and passed away Dec. 2 from brain cancer. A special ceremony took place with students when the tree was planted Dec. 7.
