ENDANGERED SPECIES DAY

Our 5th graders took full advantage of the sunshine on Monday as they celebrated Endangered Species Day in a creative way!

Students spent time on the front steps using chalk to draw and highlight a variety of endangered species from around the world. From land to sea, their artwork showcased both creativity and awareness as they learned about the importance of protecting wildlife and preserving habitats.

Great work by our young artists for combining learning, creativity, and environmental stewardship all in one colorful display!
