Celebrate Earth Month - April 2020!
April is Earth Month @ SDUSD and what better way to celebrate than engaging students, staff, and families in Earth-friendly learning opportunities and activities!
How can your school 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.
-
Start composting at your school. Consider composting with worms (vermicomposting)!
-
Promote biking and walking to school.
-
Join the movement to eliminate plastic straws.
-
Students can promote Students for Zero Waste Week by planning a simple campaign to reduce at least one type of single-use waste on campus, such as food wrappers, straws, single-use plastic bottles, etc.
-
Organize a volunteer day focused on campus or community cleanup. Option: Spread the word to school families about the 2019 Creek to Bay Cleanup on Saturday, April 27th.
-
Start a green team at your school.
-
Promote waste free lunches.
