Earth Day

To celebrate Earth Day this year all of lower school planted 5 milkweed plants. We were able to do this thanks to a very generous donation of the plants by Ellis Home and Garden, in Texarkana. Each grade level planted one plant, with the exception of third grade who planted two because it was there connection to the local store and because they have the most students in their class. We’re so excited to have these plants on our campus to help encourage the monarch butterflies to make a pitstop during their migration and also encourage other beneficial insects to the surrounding habitat. Students helped clean up weeds, dig the hole, put the plant in its proper place, and then cover up the roots. It was such a gorgeous day to do something that benefited the Earth.
