Dear Families,
As Earth Day approaches it is a good time to reflect upon what we do “to” the Earth and what we do “for” the Earth. When we eat our lunch and make trash, we could recycle. Instead of taking a ride in a car, we could be thinking about walking or riding a bike. There are many small ways we can protect our planet.
We can also take proactive steps. We might volunteer to plant trees. We could also make a small garden in our yard. Butterfly gardens are a great way to help our planet. If you would like to do something “for” our Earth, click on the link below to learn how to build a Monarch butterfly garden. And, remember our Earth Day assembly is this coming Thursday, April 18th.
Enjoy your weekend,
Rick Saunders,
Vice Principal
