Earth Day Blooms for St. Dominic School Students

Students get a lesson in Earth Day that will last for years to come.

The following was submitted by Kimberley Weaver.

Students at the have put efforts into improving their enviroment - and now their work is beginning to bloom.

Third-grade class teacher Amy Ronkese facilitated an Earth Day initiative with her students in April, planting a flower garden on school grounds and learned the importance of saving the earth.

It was not only fun but also very beneficial in learning about the meaning of Earth Day. The students now understand the importance of making very careful choices and decisions as it relates to the impact it has on the world we live in.
