Earth Day is celebrated by many communities, celebrating the Earth and the things that we can do for it. April 22nd is the day that we can celebrate the Earth. Our community, no matter how big or small, celebrates the Earth on this day, and the things that we can do to help keep our planet healthy.  

Our school community works hard to do correct trash and recycling processes. Our school’s Green Team will be doing “A Question a Day”, where they ask questions pertaining to the environment, and give ways to keep our earth green!

 To do your part this Earth Day there are so many things that you can do! Planting a tree is great for the environment with so many benefits. Just one tree could make a difference! Recycling and throwing trash away correctly are one way to help reduce pollution throughout our environment.  

Joining clean up groups is a great way to do your part. The impact may look small, but for the Earth, it is a huge deal. All it takes is a people doing small things, to make one big difference.
