Students at Chesterbrook Academy® Preschool Bug Out for Earth Day
Students celebrate Earth Day and protecting the environment by releasing hundreds of beneficial bugs
On April 21, students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool on High Point Boulevard in Bethlehem bugged out in celebration of Earth Day as they released hundreds of ladybugs throughout the schoolyard and back into the environment on plants, flowers and trees. Students were dressed for the occasion in the likeness of ladybugs, wearing red and black clothing and antennae. In addition to releasing ladybugs, students also participated in ladybug-themed art and science projects throughout the week.
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.
