Celebrate Earth Month - April 2021!

​

April is Earth Month @ SDUSD and what better way to celebrate than engaging students, staff, and families in Earth-friendly learning opportunities and activities! 

​

Once again, many of our students will be celebrating this Earth Month at home or perhaps for a few hours a week at school.  There are still many opportunities to make an impact this Earth Day/Month! Here are some ideas to help you celebrate:

 

• Celebrate a Digital Earth Day, since many activities have been canceled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Check out the  Education Resource Library for lessons and activities for any day of the year from www.earthday.org.

• Participate in the Creek to Bay Clean-up (in your neighborhood) on April 24th.  

• Students age 4-13 can submit a drawing in the City of San Diego's Earth Day Drawing Contest to show what a sustainable San Diego looks like to them.

• Join the movement to eliminate plastic straws.

• For more ideas, see Project Learning Tree's Earth Day 2021 Resources, and How Students Can Help Reduce Single Use Plastic ​and We Are Teachers 12 Meaningful Earth Day Activities for Every Grade.

• Start planning for next school year! Why wait?

  • Start a green team at your school.

  • Promote waste free lunches.

  • Start composting at your school.  Consider composting with worms (vermicomposting)!​

  • Promote biking and walking to school.
