Earth Day is everyday

Today, many of our classes participated in an Earth Day clean up.  With gloves and bags, classes were assigned an area of the schoolyard and beyond to pick up any litter, encouraging responsible environmental stewardship.  

To encourage conservation of energy, our school minimized the amount of lights that were turned on and wherever possible, shut off the lights to save energy and support the Lights Out initiative. 

The overall messaging of the day was to remind all of us to take care of our earth.  It's the only one we have.
