 Our school is celebrating Earth Day on Wednesday, April 22. We invite all students and staff to join us for an Earth Tones Spirit Day. By coming together, we show our commitment to protecting the nature that surrounds us.
To participate, please wear earthy colors such as:
This simple act helps us celebrate our beautiful planet and the trees, soil, and nature we work to protect every day. We look forward to seeing everyone in their earth tones!
 The S.C.A. invites all students to create a special artwork made out of recycled products! This is a wonderful way to show off your creativity while helping to keep our Earth clean. All finished projects will be displayed in the school library for everyone to enjoy.
To keep everyone safe, please follow these simple rules for your art:
-
Do not use any glass or sharp objects.
-
Make sure everything you use is clean.
-
Most importantly, have fun!
Start creating your masterpiece today and help us celebrate our planet through art.
