April 22, 2015 is Earth Day and the students in teacher Christina Bedoya’s Gr.1/2 class at St. Francis Catholic Elementary School have been learning about how we all have an impact on our environment. Students learned and shared ways to help our environment through everyday tasks such as turning off the lights or taking a quick shower instead of a long one. They also learned the power of reducing, re-using and recycling because we truly have “the whole world in our hands”. If we all work together to respect God’s creations and planet Earth, we really can make a difference.
