Earth Day 2012

Today, in recognition of Earth Day, Westwood Elementary Students had lunches as a neighborhood.  We then set out on a "Campus Cleanup."  We grabbed some gloves and some garbage bags and set out to pick up trash, pick weeds and rake mulch all along our school campus.  Our class was in charge of the front lot and sidewalk area and the tree line on the east side of our campus. 
We then came inside, washed up and relaxed and viewed "The Lorax" cartoon by Dr. Suess.  We also talked in the classroom about the importance of taking care of our fragile environment and the things we can do to conserve energy, conserve water and recycle.
Happy Earth Day everyone!  Take some time today to do something special for our home!
