Third Graders Get a Jump Start on Annual Earth Day Clean Up

Despite the fact that April 22 has been decreed as the official date of observance for Earth Day since it first began in 1970, this year’s students got ahead of the game when it came to their own celebration and clean-up efforts. Instead of waiting for the rest of the world’s environmental initiatives, including those of more than 192 countries, third graders led the way with their own contribution on Friday, April 17^th.  As per our annual tradition, students spent some time outside at Eagles Park, cleaning up garbage and debris, picking up sticks, and just generally sprucing up the area.
