Earth Week

We have a lot of fun and educational activities planned for Earth Week, April 18 - April 22.  Earth day is April 22.

We will announce the winner of the poster contest on Tuesday, April 19 during morning announcements.  All of the posters that were submitted for the poster design will be on display outside the library.

We will have a nature trail scavenger hunt for grades 2 - 4.  Students will visit numbered locations and answer Earth Day related questions.

Each student will receive a paper bag from Meijer grocery store to decorate with an earth week related theme.

Mrs. Wuebbolt will conduct a Stream Sweep for 3rd grader sometime during the week, depending on the weather.

Mrs. Matacia will organize a haiku activity for grades 2 - 4.

Our staff will make a "salad in a jar" to celebrate earth week at Symmes!

Every third grader in the district will receive a free tree to take home on Thursday.

Friday, April 22, will be a "Waste-less" lunch day.  Students who participate will receive a stamp for participating.

Friday, April 22, is also spirit day and the staff and children are invited to wear green in celebration of our Earth.
