Happy Earth Day!

Today, our biology classes traded in their desks for gloves and trash bags as they worked together to clean up our school campus. It was amazing to see their teamwork and dedication to making a difference right here in our own community!

Trash doesn’t just “go away.” When litter is left behind, it can:
• Harm wildlife who may ingest or get tangled in it
• Pollute our soil and water systems
• Break down into microplastics that enter the food chain
• Take years, or even centuries. to decompose

By taking action today, our students are learning that even small efforts can have a big impact on protecting our environment.

We are so proud of these students for stepping up, getting their hands dirty, and showing what it means to care for the planet we all share. 🌱💚

(Check out the photos to see their hard work in action!)
