Today was a perfect day to celebrate Earth Day! Our classes each had the opportunity to plant flowers and vegetables with our Kohls volunteers. The Kohls volunteers helped each student plant a flower in a small pot, which will be taken home in early May. They also helped with planting tomatoes and green peppers in half of a water bottle to encourage the reusing of materials. Kohls will award our building with a grant for incorporating Earth-friendly ideas to our school day.
Our PTO also helped with our Earth Day celebration by painting the students' fingerprints onto a planter. Each fingerprint will be turned into a "bug". The students decorated Earth Day bookmarks while waiting their turn to paint. Our day was a fun celebration of doing our part to improve the Earth.
