Touchstone Preschool Creates Earth Day Buzz with Ladybug Release
Students celebrated Earth Day by releasing ladybugs in their schoolyard to help local vegetation
Students at Touchstone Preschool in Hillsboro have been buzzing with excitement for Earth Day! On April 22, students celebrated Earth Day and taking care of the planet by releasing ladybugs throughout the schoolyard and back into the environment on plants, flowers and trees.
In the month leading up to Earth Day, students did a variety of activities focused on Earth and learned that ladybugs serve as a natural pesticide by feeding on insects that could otherwise harm the health of gardens, trees and shrubs. Touchstone Preschool teaches the importance of community and exploring nature at an early age.
