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.
