Chesterbrook Academy® Preschool Students Release 4,500 Ladybugs
Students celebrated Earth Day and protecting the environment by releasing 4,500 beneficial bugs into their schoolyard
On April 21, students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Malvern bugged out in celebration of Earth Day as they released more than 4,500 ladybugs throughout their 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 the ladybug release, students created art projects inspired by Earth.
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.
