Chesterbrook Academy® Students Bug Out with Earth Day Ladybug Release
Students celebrated Earth Day and protecting the environment by releasing more than 3,000 beneficial bugs into their schoolyard
On April 21, students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool on Providence Road in Charlotte bugged out in celebration of Earth Day as they released more than 3,000 ladybugs throughout the schoolyard and back into the environment on plants, flowers and trees. In honor of the holiday, students wore handmade Earth Day headbands.
Leading up to Earth Day, students learned that ladybugs serve as a natural pesticide by feeding on insects that could otherwise harm the health of gardens, trees and shrubs. Chesterbrook Academy teaches the importance of community and exploring nature at an early age.
